LOAD DISTRIBUTION Q(x) along the BEAM
Each load = Load_magnitude * <x-a>^power, where
Load_magnitude = a point force, reaction force, moment, uniform load, etc.
a = the x-station at which the load should begin to be applied.
power = -2 for a bending moment, -1 for a point force, 0 for a uniform load, 1 for a linearly increasing load, etc.
Load Q(x) = a series summation of singularity functions, (Load_magnitude * <x-a>^power).

-2 = bending moment (in-lbs) at x=a.
-1 = point force (lbs) or reaction (lbs) at x=a.
0 = uniform load (lbs/in), starting at x=a.
1 = linearly increasing load
2 = parabolicly increasing load.
