Question: A cantilever beam ( length L = 4 m ) with a uniform self - weight distribution 0 , is used to support a series

A cantilever beam (length L=4m) with a uniform self-weight distribution 0, is used to support a series of equal loads P=26 kN, spaced a distance b=1.1 m, apart along its length. Additionally, a force, )and a bending moment Me, are applied at the free end of the beam, as shown in the figure.
(a) Given that the beam is made from standard ASTM A6 steel (E=200GPa, \rho =7820 kg/m3with designation W200x200x52(matric) accesed here, calculate the self-weight distribution 0,(per unit length).
(b) If the loads, P are placed a distance a =2.32m, and both loads at the free-end (Fe and Me) are removed, calculate the deflection at the free-end. Give the answer as negative to indicate deflection down, or positive to indicate deflection up.
(c) For the load condition in question (b), determine the reaction force if Fe=2P+0*L, and Me=0.d) In question (c), the position of the load, P has no influence on the reaction force. (trueor false)
