Wl^2/8 is the right answer.

Mohit Swaraj said:   8 years ago
It should be (wl^2)÷8.

Prasad pawar said:   9 years ago
It is WL^2/8.

Baloch said:   9 years ago
I agree that the correct answer is wl^2 / 8.

Sachin said:   9 years ago
According to me, the correct answer is WL^2/8 not wl/8.

S L be the length of span kn/m total udl then we calculate maximum bending moment = force * distance.
And also half of the total udl distance then wl^2/8.

Due to symmetric loading, reactions are equal having magnitude = WL/2.

The maximum moment will occurs at center of span because of symmetric loading.

Take moment at this point,
Maximum bending moment = (WL/2) (L/2) - (WL/2) (L/4) = WL^2/8.

Support reactions are Vay = wl/2 = Vby.

Cut s/n and take the moment at pont zero.

M = - (wx^2/2) +wlx/2.

Max moment at mid pnt l/2.

M = Wl^2/8.

For uniformly distributed load moment varies parabolically not linearly.
