Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum shear force in a cantilever beam loaded with a uniform distributed load (udl) throughout its length occurs at the fixed support and is equal to the total load on the beam, which is calculated as the product of the uniform load per unit length (w) and the length of the beam (l), hence w×l.
