Problem

A beam of length ll is supported at two ends and is uniformly loaded. If WW is the uniform load per unit length, the bending moment MM at a distance xx from one end is given by M=W2lx−12Wx2M = \frac{W}{2}lx - \frac{1}{2}Wx^2. Find the point on the beam at which the bending moment has the maximum value.
