What is the formula for the shear force at a section of a simply supported beam

What is the formula for the shear force at a section of a simply supported beam with a point load at one end?

What is the formula for the shear force at a section of a simply supported beam with a point load at one end?

Step 1: Identify the beam type. We have a simply supported beam.
Step 2: Recognize the point load (W) applied at one end of the beam.
Step 3: Define the distance (x) from the left end of the beam to the section where we want to find the shear force.
Step 4: Understand that the shear force (V) at that section is affected by the point load and any distributed load (w) along the beam.
Step 5: Write the formula for shear force: V = W - wx.
Step 6: In this formula, W is the total point load, w is the distributed load per unit length, and x is the distance from the left end.
