MACAULAY METHOD FOR SLOPE & DEFLECTION SOLVED EXAMPLE 04

As Slope an Deflection is important for any loaded beam, there are so many different methods are used. out of which one method is "Macaulay's Method" through which Slope and Deflection equation for given beam is formulated using Elastic Curve Equation. It is also known as advanced version of Double Integration Method with some assumption for taking moments as well as selection of section.

Where does -M come from? Why does M negate?

[@KHENISIR]

Dear friend.... As per Euler's theory The moment is taken as negative due to the sign convention assumed by Euler.... And M means the sectional Moment on the span as per the method
