Question: Problem 1 ( 5 points ) Using the Double - Integration Method, compute the equation ( s ) for the deflected shape of the beam

Problem 1(5 points)
Using the Double-Integration Method, compute the equation(s) for the deflected shape of the beam shown below. Assume that E,I, and L are known. The left support is a pin and the right support is a roller.
Hint: You will have two equations that express the deflection: one from 0 to L2, and the other from L2 to L. There will be four constants of integration that you need to find. Two of our conditions are that displacement at A and B are zero. The other two conditions come from the fact that the beam is continuous at midspan )=(L2. Continuity means that slope and displacement should be the same for the two different equations when both are evaluated at x=L2.
Problem 2(5 points)
Using the Method of Virtual Work, find the vertical displacement at Point A on the truss to the right. Assume that E=200GPa and that cross-sectional area A=300mm2.
C= Pin
D= Pin
(Despite the two pins, this is determinate - you can solve this. We know that the vertical reaction force at D must be zero by taking the method of joints at location D.)
Warning - Units for E and I are very important! Be careful and make sure they match with the units for the loads and lengths given in the problem.
1GPa=109Nm2=1kNmm2. I find this problem is easier if you convert everything to millimeters and kilo-Newtons, but Newtons and meters is fine too.
