Consider a simply supported beam of length 50ft subjected to a uniformly distributed downward load of 10kips/ft from x=10ft to x=40ft and concentrated downward loads of 100kips at x=10ft and x=40ft.
a) Determine the shear and moment diagrams from x=0ft to x=50ft
b) Determine the slope dv/dx and deflection v(x) from x=0ft to x=40ft
