Shear force at a =w, and the length at which the shear force acts is l/3.
Now calculate, shear force = w * l/3.
Now calculate, shear force = w * l/3.

Answer is right. You have to subtract the shear force by the load taken by the beam b.

If the force applied over the equal udl the derivation is wl/2 is right and here the udl is triangle and the right derivation will become wl/3.

wl/2 is the right answer.

Because it is simply supported to obtain reaction at a total load multiplied with centroidal distance to the apex (in this case) whole divided by length is the answer.

Yes, wl/3 it right.

All load = a to wl/3.
