ΣMD = 0

8R1 = 200(5) + 400(1)

R1 = 175  lb

 
ΣMA = 0

8R2 = 200(3) + 400(7)

R2 = 425  lb

By ratio and proportion
yC 2125
=
1 5

y C = 425  lb ⋅ ft

 
From the conjugate beam
ΣMD = 0

1 2 1 1 1 2
8F1 + (4)(1600)[1 + (4)] = (3)(525)[5 + (3)] + (5)(2125)[ (5)]
2 3 2 3 2 3

F1 = 1337.5  lb ⋅ ft

 
ΣMA = 0

1 1 1 2 1 1
8F2 + (4)(1600)[ (4)] = (3)(525)[ (3)] + (5)(2125)[3 + (5)]
2 3 2 3 2 3

2
F2 = 1562.5  lb ⋅ ft

 
Consider the section to the left of B in conjugate beam
1 1
MB = (3)(525)[ (3)] − 3F1
2 3

M B = 787.5 − 3(1337.5)

3
MB = −3225  lb ⋅ ft

 
Thus, the deflection at B is
EI  δB = MB

          answer
3
EI  δB = 3225  lb ⋅ ft

 
Consider the section to the right of C in conjugate beam
1 1
MC = (1)(y C )[ (1)] − 1F2
2 3

1 1
MC = (1)(425)[ (1)] − 1(1562.5)
2 3

3
MC = −1491.67  lb ⋅ ft

 
Thus, the deflection at C is
EI  δC = MC

3
EI  δC = −1491.67  lb ⋅ ft

EI  δC = 1491.67  lb ⋅ ft
