### Structural Analysis Using Flexibility Method

#### Task Description:
Analyze the following structure using the Flexibility Method. The constant EI is assumed for the structure.

#### Steps to Follow:

1. **Compute all support reactions:**
   - Determine the reactions at each support point, ensuring equilibrium is maintained throughout the structure.

2. **Draw the complete FBD (Free Body Diagram):**
   - Create a detailed Free Body Diagram illustrating all forces, moments, and support reactions.

3. **Draw V, M, and qualitative deflected shape diagrams:**
   - **V (Shear Force Diagram):** Show how shear forces vary along the length of the structure.
   - **M (Bending Moment Diagram):** Indicate the bending moments experienced by the structure at various points.
   - **Deflected Shape Diagram:** Provide a qualitative sketch of how the structure would deform under the applied loads.

4. **On the released structure, sketch deflected shapes with all flexibility coefficients and relevant deflections/rotations labeled:**
   - Illustrate the deflected shapes, ensuring all flexibility coefficients (related to structural stiffness and displacement) are indicated and labeled with corresponding figures.

#### Structure Analysis Diagram:
- **Support Configuration:**
  - Left support (at the left-most side of the beam) is a fixed support.
  - Right support (at point C on the far-right end) is pinned.
  - Middle support (at point B) is a roller support.

- **Load Applied:**
  - A uniform distributed load of \(1 \text{ kip/ft}\) is applied along the segment BC.

- **Dimensions:**
  - Distance from the left support to point B is \(24 \text{ ft}\).
  - Distance from point B to point C (span of uniform load) is \(16 \text{ ft}\).

By following these steps and using the provided data, a comprehensive analysis of the structural behavior under the described load can be achieved.
