Final answer:

The equations for slope and deflection of the beam shown using Euler–Bernoulli’s beam theory and direct integration are not applicable for multiple-choice options. Therefore,the correct Option is Options (a, b, c, d) Not applicable for multiple-choice options.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of Euler–Bernoulli’s beam theory, the equations for slope and deflection are typically derived through differential equations that describe the bending behavior of beams. However, the complexity of the specific beam shown and the absence of details such as loading conditions, material properties, and support conditions make it impossible to determine a unique solution.

The derivation of these equations involves integrating the moment equation twice to obtain the deflection equation and once to obtain the slope equation. Given the lack of specific information about the beam, it is not feasible to provide a definitive solution.

In beam analysis, factors like point loads, distributed loads, and support conditions significantly influence the final equations for slope and deflection. Without these details, the application of direct integration or Euler–Bernoulli’s beam theory remains indeterminate.

In a comprehensive analysis, engineers would consider the specific characteristics of the beam, apply appropriate boundary conditions, and then proceed with the derivation of slope and deflection equations. However, the absence of these crucial details renders the provided options (a, b, c, d) not applicable for the given multiple-choice question.

Therefore,the correct Option is Options (a, b, c, d) Not applicable for multiple-choice options.
