2. A uniform, simply supported beam, is loaded as shown in Figure 2. Using singularity functions, determine an expression for the bending moment at any point along the beam. Hence, determine the slope of the beam at point, A, and the deflection of the beam at point, B. The bending stiffness of the beam is 3200 Nm². 320 N 200 N/m 1.2m 0.6m Figure 2 2 A 0.4m X * B D
