Simply supported beam with point load at centre
Overhung beam having equal point loads acting in the same direction at the free ends
Cantilever subjected to concentrated load at the free end
Simply supported beam having point loads of equal magnitude and in same direction at equal distances from the supports.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The shear force diagram for a cantilever beam with a point concentrated load at the free end is shown below in the figure

RRB JE ME SOM 3 1234

As we can see from the diagram irrespective of the length the shear force will remain the same i.e. W.
