a simple beam with a pin support at A on the left side of my beam, and a roller connection 20 feet away on the far right side of the beam labeled C, with the midspan point (10 feet) labeled B. There is a distributed load acting on the beam starting from point A and going to point B at the midspan. The distributed load is 2k/ft.
The original question was asking to find the moment equations and then the deflection and rotation equations from the moment. These were asked to be found by making two seperate cuts. The first cut being anywhere between the distributed load with the x direction being taken from point A to the right (I said the limit states were 0 <(equal to) x <(equal to) 10). And the second cut was asked to be made between point B and C with the x direction again being measured from point A to the right.
