In a simply supported beam, what is the reaction at the supports if a uniform load is applied?

In a simply supported beam, what is the reaction at the supports if a uniform load is applied?

Step 1: Understand that a simply supported beam has two supports, one at each end.
Step 2: Recognize that a uniform load (w) means the load is evenly distributed across the entire length of the beam.
Step 3: Identify the total load on the beam by multiplying the uniform load (w) by the length of the beam (L). This gives you the total load (WL).
Step 4: Since the beam is simply supported, the total load is shared equally between the two supports.
Step 5: To find the reaction at each support, divide the total load (WL) by 2. This gives you the reaction at each support as WL/2.
