What is the shear force at the support of a simply supported beam with a uniform load?

What is the shear force at the support of a simply supported beam with a uniform load?

Step 1: Understand that a simply supported beam is supported at two ends and can freely rotate.
Step 2: Recognize that a uniform load means the load is evenly distributed along the length of the beam.
Step 3: Identify the total load (W) acting on the beam. This is the weight per unit length multiplied by the length of the beam (L).
Step 4: Realize that the total load (W) is shared equally between the two supports since the beam is simply supported.
Step 5: Calculate the shear force at one support by dividing the total load (W) by 2, which gives you WL/2.
