Considering Cantilever beam with udl.

Then, M =(WL^2) / (2) ------------------ at fixed end.
From Bending Eqn: M/I=F/y,
M= (F*I)/(y),

We know, Section modulus (Z) = I/y.

M = F * Z.
{ F = M/Z } ----------------------> (i)
I = (bd^3)/(12),
y = d/2,
Z = (bd^2)/(6).

Putting value in F = M/Z.
F = [(WL^2)/(2)] / [(bd^2)/(6)],
F = [(WL^2)/(2)] x [(6)/(bd^2)].
F = (3WL^2)/(bd^2).

d^2 = (3WL^2) / (bF)


d = √ (3WL^2)/(bF).
d = L x √[(3W) / (bF)].

Thank you.

Thanks @Abdullah.

The question asks to depth at the fixed end.
M/I=F/Y.
F*(bd^2/6)=wl^2.
d=Sqrt(3wl^2/bf).
wl=W.
d=Sqrt(3wl/bf).
May Almighty make us knowledgeable.
