Solve all problems using the finite element stiffness

For the beam shown in Figure P4–77, use a longhand solution to solve the problem. Compare answers using the beam stiffness matrix, Eq. (4.1.14), without transverse shear deformation effects and then Eq. (4.1.15o), which includes the transverse shear effects.

Eq. (4.1.14),

Eq. (4.1.15o),
