A fixed$-$ended beam has an intermediate support at joint $2$ as shown in Fig. $5.$ Support $2$ is a

distance of $2\mathrm{.}54mm$ below an axis drawn between joints $1$ and $3.$ Determine the member end

forces when the beam is jacked into position $($with support $2$ attached to the beam$).EI=$

constant $=2\mathrm{.}9{10}^{3}kN*m^2.$
