Before the uniform distributed load is applied on the beam, there is a small gap of 0.2 mm between the beam and the post at B. Determine the support reactions at A, B, and C. The post at B has a diameter of 40 mm, and the moment of inertia of the beam is I = 875(106 ) mm4 . The post and the beam are made of material having a modulus of elasticity of E = 200 GPa.
