The cantilever beam AB is subjected to the loads P0, and ω0. The maximum deflection at B is limited to
2 mm. Using the values in the table above, solve for the maximum allowable load P0 using the Double
Integration Method.

The steel beam ACB (E = 200 GPa, I = 5.6(106) mm4) is supported by a pin and two rollers as shown. If
the beam is loaded with a distributed load 𝝎𝟎 = 𝟐. 𝟓 𝒌𝑵/𝒎 and a concentrated moment 𝑴𝟎 = 𝟏 𝒌𝑵𝒎,
solve for the following:

a. The reactions at A, B, and C and

b. The maximum deflection and its location from A.

Solve by Moment Area Method with reference section at A.
