12 KNm. Clockwise is the answer.

Answer is 12knm clockwise because due to 9kn force the moment will be anticlockwise so to resist that moment we have to apply the moment in the anticlockwise direction.

Given 12knm anti-clockwise is the correct answer as per sign convention.

Compare deflection due to point load and deflection due to moment which is used for zero vertical deflection.
Yp=Ym.
WL^3/3EI =ML^2/2EI we get M=12KN-m.

And due to point load at the free end anti-clockwise rotation occurred in the beam so to balance that we use clockwise moment.

So, the answer is 12kN-m clockwise.
