Homework Statement: Show by using static equilibrium equations that maximum bending moment occurs at mid-span when the beam is loaded as shown in the figure .

Relevant Equations: Summation of Moment at either of the support =0
Sum of vertical forces = 0

Hand-drawn beam diagram, rotated sideways: a simply supported beam 10 m long with a pin support at the left end and a roller at the right, loaded by a 10 kN point load at 5 m and a 10 kN/m UDL on the top surface, with arrows pointing down onto the beam.

Welcome, ashish181!

What work have you done so far?
Any schematic with magnitudes and directions of forces as described in the problem?
