ANSWER:
Step 1 of 8
A straightforward equilibrium calculation identifies the reaction force at the fully fixed support , and the reaction moment; (CCW).
Elastic curve parameters
Consider the elastic curve over A to C, defined in terms of the coordinate; (identical to first part of previous solution) and in the same direction over B to Cefined in terms of the coordinate; .
