Quick bending question...

Hi
This is a question that seems to have come up every year for the exam i'm doing tomorrow, but I have no idea how to answer it. It regards a cantilever with a distributed load and a moment at the end.

i. Write an expression for the bending moment at any point in the beam
ii. Derive an expression for the deflected shape of the beam

Any help would be appreciated!
I've attached the question just in case :smile:

Anyone? I know it should be something to do with the integration of M=-EId^2v/dz^2, but I don't understand it any further :frown:
