1.28 m	6.4 m	1.34 m		10.06 kN/m	9.2 kN

Problem Statement:
An S203x27 beam is loaded and supported as shown. Find the following, assuming the beam is composed of Structural Steel.

(a) The deflection of the beam midway between the supports.
(b) The slope of the beam at point B.
(c) The deflection of the beam at point A.
(d) The slope of the beam at point C.
(e) The deflection of the beam at point D.

Answers:
(Denote upward deflections with positive values, and downward deflections with negative values. Denote positive slopes with positive values and negative slopes with negative values.)

(a) $y_{BC-midpoint}$ =

(b) $\theta_B$ =

(c) $y_A$ =

(d) $\theta_C$ =

(e) $y_D$ =
