Reaction from water is coming as UDL of magnitude 100/length resultant of which will be again its centre.

50 at each end.

Because shear force acts at the ends of the beam a.

According to me, 50 N at center is the right answer.
Because there are applied to Beyonce's force.

Water exerts a resisting force equal to the applied point load of 100 N in the form of UDL over the whole span.

Let's say, the span is 10m long then, W=10N/M.

Now, the beam is loaded with UDL of 10N/M in an upward direction and a point load at the center.

From the SF diagram maximum shear 50N at the center.
