Use Macaulay's method to determine the deflection of the beam below. The beam is made of steel with flexural rigidity EI. Reaction forces are \( 25.714 \mathrm{kN} \) at \( \mathrm{x}=1 \mathrm{~m} \) and \( 114.286 \mathrm{kN} \) at \( \mathrm{x}=4.5 \mathrm{~m} \) Bending Moment is \[ \mathrm{M}=+25.714 \mathrm{kN} *(\mathrm{x}-1) \mathrm{m}-30 \mathrm{kN} *(\mathrm{x}-2) \mathrm{m}+114.286 \mathrm{kN}{ }^{*}(\mathrm{x}-4.5) \mathrm{m}-5 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{*}\left(\mathrm{x}^{2} \mathrm{~m}^{2}\right. \] Grades Integrations \( 33 \% \) BCs \( 33 \% \) Solving for constants of integration \( 33 \% \) You may want to plot the deflection of the beam to check your solution is correct.
