Simply supported beam(point load)then B.M = Wl/4.
Simply supported beam (U.D.L)then B.M = Wl^2/8.
Cantilever beam (point load)then B.M = Wl.
Cantilever beam (U.D.L)then B.M = wl^2/2.
Simply supported beam (U.D.L)then B.M = Wl^2/8.
Cantilever beam (point load)then B.M = Wl.
Cantilever beam (U.D.L)then B.M = wl^2/2.

The load is UDL then its point load acts at centre,
Moment at centre is zero.
Moment at centre is zero.

How can moment be zero? you have to consider the support loads at both ends at the centre of the beam.

At both ends reactions will be wl/2 and if we take moment at the centre it comes wl2/8. So answer D is correct.

1. Bending moment due to reaction force at one end is = (wl/2)*(l/2).
2. Bending moment due to udl up to l/2 will act at l/4 at with a magnitude of -((w/2)*(l/2))*(l/4) (-ve since clockwise).
So, net B.M. will be the sum of them, which is wl^2/4 - wl^2/8 = wl^2/8.

Firstly calculate shear force i.e. wl/2.
Now calculate the area of shear force diagram you will get bending moment as the shear force diagram is in the form of triangle the area =1/2*base*height i.e 1/2*L/2*WL/2=WL2/8.

If the centroidal axis and neutral axis of the beam concides, the the stresses at the centre of the beam will be zero.

Can anyone tell me which configuration has Wl/8 bending moment?
