Best explanation, thanks.

@ M.S.R.

It is SSB, it is never SF Zero at the support.
BM is zero at the support.

@All.

The answer given is Reaction force at B but in the question, they have asked about shear force which will be zero as there is no force on the right of B.

Very nice explanation @Mulkesh.

Ra + Rb= wl/2,
The moment about A point.
Rb * l= wl/2 * l/3,
Rb = wl/6.

First of all, its centroid it at l/3.
And we know r(a)+r(b)-w*(l/3)=0,
And r(a)=r(b),
So r(b)=wl/6.

@Josh.

You have taken the wrong length, 2l/3 from B and l/3 from A.
So the answer should be B.

Josh said:   9 years ago
L/3 from B and 2l/3 from A so the load is wl then taking moment about B l/3 * wl/2 = A * l
= wl/6.

I think the answer is option D. If it is wrong then please correct me.
