5. A beam ABCD 20 m long is loaded as shown in figure given below. The beam is
supported at B and C and has overhang of 2 m to the left of the support B and an
overhang K meters to the right of support C which is in the right-hand half of the beam.
Determine the value of K if the mid-point of the beam is point of inflexion and for this
arrangement plot B.M. and S.F. diagrams.
