Question: For the beam and loading shown, use discontinuity functions to compute ( a ) the deflection of the beam at A and ( b )

For the beam and loading shown, use discontinuity functions to compute (a) the deflection of the beam at A and (b) the deflection of the beam at C. Assume a constant value of EI =23000kN*m2 for the beam. Also, assume P=15kN,wB=23kNm,wC=78kNm,a=2.2m,b=3.8m, and c=1.3m.
Calculate the reaction forces By and Dy acting on the beam. Positive values for the reactions are indicated by the directions of the red arrows shown for the forces By and Dy on the free-body diagram below. (Note: Since Bx=0, it has been omitted from the free-body diagram.)
