How Do You Calculate Slope and Deflection in a Triangular Load Beam?

[member 392791]

For this problem, I think that something is wrong with my moment equation, I am not sue how to find the loading as a function of x for this triangle shape.

Do I need to account for the sections 0 < x < L/2 and L/2 < x < L??

It's best to split this single load into 2 triangular loads imposed back-to-back.

I think you should also construct the shear diagram. It can help with getting the moment diagram correctly.
