Question: The figure ( not drawn to scale ) shows a overhanging metallic bar ( supported at A and C ) , of flexural modulus E

The figure (not drawn to scale) shows a overhanging metallic bar (supported at A and C), of flexural modulus EI. It is subjected to a point load of amplitude P at B, and UDL load w between points C and D.
All distances are multiple of a unit distance L.
You are given
the distance between A and B as 2L,
the distance between B and C as 3L,
and the distance between C and D as 3L.
(The length of the beam is thus 8L.)
All answers can be expressed in term of fractions timed by functions of P,w,L and EI.
a) Calculate the reaction forces at points A and C,RA and RC.
