Problem 4-98^ Solution ^(a.) Solve as stated in the text. Express your answers in variables. For the vertical reactions at B and C, present each with a leading term {w/[8(l-a)]} factored out and multiplying three terms (each of these should be some integer number times: l2, la, and a2, respectively). (b.) Determine numerical values for each of the support reactions for w=250lb/ft (externally applied load), l=50ft, a=17ft. Include the weight of the beam, and let the beam to be a steel American Standard S15x50 Beam. (c.) Determine the tip deflection and the maximum bending (normal) stress, plus where the latter occurs. (d.) Remove the redundant support at B, and repeat part (c.). Compare results to part (c.) and
