For calculating the maximum shear force (V) and bending moment (M) of the given figure, we need to find the amount of force acting upwards on the entire span length.

Shear Force Diagram:

To find the shear force of the given figure, we divide the above figure in a number of sections.

  1. Firstly taking a section from length 0 to 0.8 m.
  2.   V1=qxV1=1500x

    The value of shear force when x= 0 at point A is

      V1=qxV1=1500×0V1=0

    The value of shear force when x= 0.8 at point A is

      V1=qxV1=1500×0.8V1=1200Ν

  3. Again taking a section from length 0.8 m to mid-span.

  1. Firstly taking a section from length 0 to 0.8 m.
  2.   M1=qx(x2)M1=1500x(x2)M1=750x2

    The value of moment when x= 0.8 at point A is

      M1=750x2M1=750×(0.8)2M1=480Νm

  3. Again taking a section from length 0.8 m to mid-span.
