Shear force is maximum at support and zero at centre
Bending moment maximum at centre and zero at support for all simply supported beams..
Shear force acts on a place and it induce on a direct place where the loads are transfered..
Bending moment act with reference to lever arm distance., (B.M = force X Distance)
unit for shear force is KN
unit for mending moment is Kn.m
