Question 1

Given a beam subjected to a point load that is instantly applied at t=3s and removed at t=6s, represent the load using a piecewise function and find its Laplace transform.

💡 Hint: Look into how each piece of the load behaves at different times.

Question 2

Formulate and solve for the Laplace transform of the following piecewise function: f(t) = 10u(t-2) + 5u(t-4).

💡 Hint: Break it down by examining each unit step function's contribution.
