PROBLEMS (10.68 through 10.71) A fixed-end beam constructed of a W150x30 wide-flange
section (see Table B.8) is loaded as shown in Figs. P10.68 through P10.71. Using a direct-integration
method, determine:
(a) All of the reactions.
(b) The mid span deflection for the given values:
w = w0/2 = 15 kN/m, P = 25 kN, M0 = 10 kN
m, L = 4 m, E = 200 GPa, I = 17.2x106 mm4
