Question: Question 2 ( 5 0 points ) A propped cantilever beam AC of length 2 L is loaded by a concentrated load P as illustrated

Question 2(50 points)
A propped cantilever beam AC of length 2 L is loaded by a concentrated load P as illustrated in the figure. The beam is of rectangular cross-section with the corresponding moment of inertia I and Young's modulus E. The beam is supported at B by a linear elastic spring with stiffness \(\mathrm{k}=6\mathrm{EI}/\mathrm{L}^{3}\). The spring exerts only transverse force reaction on the beam. Employing Castigliano's \(2^{\text {nd }}\) theorem, please determine the reactions at \( A \) and \( B \) in terms of the known parameters P,L,E,I. Neglect any transverse shear strain effect, in elastic strain energy expression.
