Consider 101st Element, i.e. k = 101

Load acting on the starting Node is 200 N/m or 0.2

N/mm

(k-x)*diff. in load / No. of Elements = load acting on the

starting Node Consider 200th Element, i.e. k = 200
i.e.
(101-x)*(0.6-0.2)/100 = 0.2 x =Load
51 acting on the starting Node is 600 N/m or 0.6
N/mm

(k-x)*diff. in load / No. of Elements = load acting on the

starting Node
i.e.
(200-x)*(0.6-0.2)/100 = 0.6 x = -50
