Q $2(100$ marks$)$

Determine the slope and deflection equations for the beam shown below.

Implement these equations in EXCEL in order to determine the rotation and deflection at $0\mathrm{.}2$ metre

intervals along the beam. Create an EXCEL plot of the deflected shape of the beam. $(30$ marks$)$

Calculate the rotation in radians at the support points $($A and D$)$ and the maximum deflection in the

beam. Compare these hand$-$calculated values to the corresponding EXCEL values.
