    - Maximum shear force acting on the simply supported beam is calculated using the formula:

    Maximum shear force = (Total load acting on beam) / 2

    Given: W1= 100 N, W2 = 50 N, W3 = 250N

    Formula: Maximum shear force = (W1 + W2 +W3 ) / 2

    Solution:

    - Maximum shear force = (100 + 50 + 250) / 2

    = 400 / 2

    = 200 N

    The maximum shear force acting on simply supported beam shown above is 200 N.
