Let's break down the solution step-by-step using the **Force Method** and **Castigliano's Theorem**.  
We will:

1. **Identify the structure and redundants**  
2. **Determine primary structure (remove redundant reaction)**  
3. **Find deflections using Castigliano’s Theorem**  
4. **Apply compatibility to solve for redundants**  
5. **Fill the table**  
6. **Draw Shear and Moment diagrams**

## 1. **Structure and Redundants**

- **Fixed at A** (vertical and moment), **roller at C**.
- **Redundant:** Take vertical reaction at A (**Ay**) as the redundant.
- **Loads:** 10 kips point load at end, 5 kips/ft UDL, 15 kip-ft moment at A.

---

## 2. **Primary Structure**

- **Remove Ay** (replace with a force at A).
- Structure is simply supported at C, pinned at A (but Ay = 0).

---

## 3. **Castigliano’s Theorem**

**Let’s denote:**
- Redundant = Ay
- At A: moment MA, vertical Ay (redundant)
- At C: vertical reaction Cy (unknown)
- At A: moment reaction MA (unknown)

Let's write the equations for vertical equilibrium:

$$
\sum F_y = 0: \quad Ay + Cy = 10 + (5 \times 20) = 10 + 100 = 110 \text{ kips}
$$

$$
\sum M_A = 0:
$$
Take moments at A (counterclockwise positive):

- Point load: $10 \, \text{kips}$ at 20 ft → $10 \times 20 = 200 \, \text{kip-ft}$
- UDL: $5 \, \text{k/ft} \times 20 \, \text{ft} = 100 \, \text{kips}$ at 10 ft from A → $100 \times 10 = 1000 \, \text{kip-ft}$
- Reaction at C: $Cy \times 20$
- Applied moment at A: +15 kip-ft

$$
\sum M_A = 0: \quad 15 + (Cy \times 20) - 200 - 1000 = 0
$$
$$
15 + 20Cy - 1200 = 0 \implies 20Cy = 1185 \implies Cy = \frac{1185}{20} = 59.25 \text{ kips}
$$

Now, plug Cy into the vertical equilibrium:

$$
Ay + 59.25 = 110 \implies Ay = 110 - 59.25 = 50.75 \text{ kips}
$$

**But remember, Ay is our redundant. In the primary structure, Ay is removed, so we solve for the deflection at A due to the applied loads (with Ay = 0), then use compatibility (total vertical deflection at A = 0).**

---

## 4. **Castigliano’s Theorem (Finding Ay)**

Let’s denote the vertical deflection at A due to external loads = $\delta_{A, ext}$.  
The vertical deflection at A due to Ay = $f_{AA} \cdot Ay$.

**Compatibility:**
$$
\delta_{A, ext} + f_{AA} \cdot Ay = 0 \implies Ay = -\frac{\delta_{A, ext}}{f_{AA}}
$$

### **Step 1: Calculate $f_{AA}$ (flexibility coefficient)**
For a simply supported beam, vertical force at A, find vertical deflection at A:

For a beam of length $L$, force $P$ at A:
$$
\delta_A = \frac{PL^3}{3EI}
$$
But since the beam is supported at A (actually at C), and Ay acts upwards, the deflection at A due to unit Ay is:

$$
f_{AA} = \frac{L^3}{3EI}
$$
with $L = 20$ ft.

### **Step 2: Calculate $\delta_{A, ext}$**
This is the vertical deflection at A due to all applied loads **with Ay = 0**.
- From 10 kips at B (20 ft from A)
- From UDL (5 kips/ft over 20 ft)
- From applied moment at A (15 kip-ft)

For each, calculate the deflection at A:

#### (i) **Point load at B (10 kips at L)**
Deflection at A due to point load $P$ at end $B$ (of simply supported beam):

$$
\delta_{A,10} = -\frac{P L^3}{3 EI}
$$

#### (ii) **UDL (5 k/ft over full span)**
Deflection at A due to UDL over full span:

$$
\delta_{A,UDL} = -\frac{w L^4}{8 EI}
$$

#### (iii) **Moment at A (15 kip-ft)**
Deflection at A due to moment at A:

For simply supported beam: vertical deflection at A due to moment at A is zero (because the rotation is non-zero, but the vertical deflection is zero).

---

### **Plug in numbers:**

- $L = 20$ ft
- $P = 10$ kips
- $w = 5$ k/ft

$$
f_{AA} = \frac{L^3}{3EI} = \frac{20^3}{3EI} = \frac{8000}{3EI}
$$

$$
\delta_{A,10} = -\frac{10 \cdot 20^3}{3EI} = -\frac{10 \cdot 8000}{3EI} = -\frac{80,000}{3EI}
$$
$$
\delta_{A,UDL} = -\frac{5 \cdot 20^4}{8EI} = -\frac{5 \cdot 160,000}{8EI} = -\frac{800,000}{8EI} = -\frac{100,000}{EI}
$$

Total deflection at A:

$$
\delta_{A,ext} = \delta_{A,10} + \delta_{A,UDL} = -\frac{80,000}{3EI} - \frac{100,000}{EI}
$$

$$
Ay = -\frac{\delta_{A,ext}}{f_{AA}} = -\frac{-\frac{80,000}{3EI} - \frac{100,000}{EI}}{\frac{8000}{3EI}}
$$

Multiply numerator and denominator by $3EI$:

$$
Ay = -\frac{-80,000 - 300,000}{8000}
= -\frac{-380,000}{8000} = 47.5 \text{ kips}
$$

---

## 5. **Find Cy and Moment at C**

$$
Ay + Cy = 110 \implies Cy = 110 - 47.5 = 62.5 \text{ kips}
$$

Now, moment at C ($M_C$):

$$
\sum M_C = 0: \quad -Ay \times 20 + 15 + 10 \times 0 + \text{UDL moment}
$$
- Ay is upward at A, distance to C is 20 ft (counterclockwise negative at C).
- 15 kip-ft moment at A, 20 ft away from C (clockwise at C).
- UDL: 5 k/ft × 20 ft = 100 kips, at 10 ft from A (10 ft from C, as well).

UDL creates a moment about C: $5 \times 20 \times 10 = 100 \times 10 = 1000$ kip-ft, counterclockwise at C (negative).

$$
\sum M_C = 0: \quad -Ay \times 20 + 15 - 1000 = 0
$$
$$
-47.5 \times 20 + 15 - 1000 = 0
$$
$$
-950 + 15 - 1000 = -1935 \text{ kip-ft}
$$

But this is the sum of moments about C **including all external loads**; to
