Task: find VA

table

approach:

(3) The load w between A and B creates a moment at B of MB = wL2/8. This moment will act on the simple span BC, causing it to bend upward and rotate CCW at B.

(4) The slope that results at B will cause an additional deflection at A (see skill 1).

(5) To find this added deflection requires the use of a simple beam case from the beam table.
