The shear force at the ends of a simply supported beam carrying a uniformly distributed load of w per unit length is

zero at its both ends
wl at one end and - wl at the other end
wl/2 at one end and - wl/2 at the other end
wl2/2 at one end and - wl2/2 at the other end

Correct Answer: wl/2 at one end and - wl/2 at the other end
