Easymoment-areacurvature
A prismatic beam segment AB is 4.0 m long, with x measured from A toward B. Positive curvature is defined as dθ/dx. The curvature κ = M/EI varies linearly from 0 at A to +0.003 m⁻¹ at B. Small-deflection theory applies and the rotation at A is not given. Find the change in rotation θB − θA, in radians.
