Question: For the simply supported beam ( l = 2 0 f t ) subjected to uniformly distributed load w = 1 0 l b f

For the simply supported beam (l=20ft) subjected to uniformly distributed load w=10lbft.E and I are constant. Deformation due to shear is ignored. To find the displacement m at the midspan, please do the following:
(1) please explain all the symbols in the equation below:
(2) According to your explanation in (1), find the function of m with respect to x
(3) According to your explanation in (1), find the function of M with respect to x
(4) Use the virtual work principle, find the displacement m at the mid-span.
