A simply supported beam is loaded as shown in Fig. P3.10. Using singularity functions, the displacement along the beam can be expressed by the equation:

By definition, the singularity function can be expressed as follows:

Develop an M-file that creates a plot of displacement versus distance along the beam, x. Note that x = 0 at the left end of the beam.
