For the beam and loading shown below, determine the reactions at supports A and $B.$ Assume that $EI=7\mathrm{.}2{10}^6$kip$-$in$.{?}^2$ is constant for the beam. Use $w_0=8$kip$\frac{s}{f}t$ and $L=15ft.$

Part $1$

Remove support B and use the appropriate equation from Appendix C to calculate the deflection at point B caused by the distributed load. Use the sign convention from the textbook $($deflection is positive upward$).$

Answer:

$v_B=$ in$.$
