Assume that P = 20 kips and L = 5 ft. Determine the reaction force at C. Assume that EI is constant for the beam. Assume the beam weighs 25 kips/ft. (Reminder: The roller symbol implies that both upward and downward displacement is restrained.)

Two nearly identical beams with different lengths are loaded with P at center span. Which beam will deflect the least? Ignore the weight difference between the two beams. Assume the beam on the left is made of cheese and the beam on the right is made of diamond.
