7.

Consider the beam in the figure above loaded with uniform distributed load w = 2k/ft
above. Support A is fixed. Supports B and C are rollers. The lengths of AB and BC each
equals 15 ft. The moment of inertia of AB is 2I and that of BC is I where I = 3000 in4.
The elastic modulus is constant: E = 10000 ksi.

Find support reactions at A, B, C using the following methods:

List of methods :
i) Beam flexure differential equation
ii) Moment area method
iii) Castiglianos theorem
