MB=½(2)(213.33[⅓(2)]-2F₂

MB=½(2)(213.33[⅓(2)]-2(497.77)

MB=-853.32lb.ft³

Thus, the deflection at B is

EIβB=MB

EIβB=-853.32lb.ft³

EIβB=853.32lb.ft³ downward

2nd degree

The loads of conjugate beam are symmetrical, thus,

F₁=F₂=½[½(5)(3000)+⅓(1)(75)-⅓(5)(1875)]

F₁=F₂=2200N.m²

For the beam, the maximum deflection will occur at the midspan.

3000N.m

F₁=2200N.m² 1875N.m
Mmidspan=½(2.5)(3000)[⅓(2.5)]+⅓(0.5)(75)[⅟₄(0.5)]-⅓(2.5)(1875)[⅟₄(2.5)]-2200(2.5)

Mmidspan=-3350N.m³

Therefore, the maximum deflection is

EIβmax=Mmidspan

Eiβmax=-3350N.m³

Eiβmax=3350N.m³ below the neutral axis
