A beam, of \( 5 \text{ m} \) effective span, has its left end ‘P’ as a free end; whereas its right end ‘Q’ is a fixed supported end. The beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of \( 3 \text{ kN/m} \) on the entire span. Find the point with the maximum shear force.
Point ‘Q’
Point ‘P’
Midpoint of the beam span
\( 1 \text{ m} \) from the fixed support
Correct answer
Point ‘Q’
