Solve the following.

1. The beam as shown in the figure below, has a rectangular cross section of 100mm wide by
200mm depth. Using the Superposition method, compute the value of P that will limit the
midspan deflection to 12mm. Use E = 10 GPa. (10 Points)

2. Compute the EI Deflection at Midspan for the beam shown, using Superposition method. (10
Points)

3. From the figure below, using the conjugate beam method, compute the deflection at 2 m
from the right support. EI is constant. (10
Points)
