I have some square tubing 3x3x1/4" A36 that will be fixed on one end and free on the other the material 9' long how was I find the bending moment?

Bending moment of square tubing is the measure of the amount of force that is applied to a square tube in order to cause it to bend.
Bending moment for square tubing is calculated by multiplying the applied force by the distance from the point of application to the center of the tube.
The bending moment of square tubing is affected by the material properties of the tube, the dimensions and shape of the tube, and the applied force.
Bending moment can significantly affect the strength of square tubing. If the bending moment exceeds the tube's strength, it can cause the tube to permanently deform or even break.
The most commonly used unit for measuring bending moment in square tubing is pound-force per inch (lb-in) or Newton-meter (N-m).
