Problem #$2$: For the beam below, determine the reactions at the fixed supports using the force method. For simplicity, Assume EI is constant and consider flexural deformations only. Notes$/$Hints: $$ To make grading this assignment more consistent, turn your primary structure into a simply supported beam $($among the other options available$)!$ You may notice that the Hibbeler front cover can help you to evaluate the primary and secondary structures faster than virtual work!
