Consider the beam with the loading shown and answer the following conceptual questions.

$($a$)$ Draw the approximate elastic curve for the beam.

$($b$)$ Where will the deflection $v$ be greatest? $(A,B,C)$

$($c$)$ Where will the slope $$ be greatest? $($A$,$ B$,$ C$)$

$($d$)$ How many redundant reaction are there on this beam? Explain how you arrived at this answer

$($e$)$ List the reaction$($s$)$ that could be selected as redundant.
