(MoMF). As usual, the loading function, shear force, bending moment, slope,and deflection of the beam are denoted by the symbols q, V, M, y , and y, respectively.Example 1. A simply supported beam AD with constant flexural rigidity EI and length L is actedon by a concentrated force P  at B and a concentrated moment PL  at C as shown in Fig. 2.Determine (a) the slopes A and D at A and D, respectively; (b) the deflection yB at B. Fig. 2. Simply supported beam AD carrying concentrated loadsSolution. The beam is in static equilibrium. Its free-body diagram is shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 3.
