Explanation:

Cantilever beam with uniformly distributed load:

RRB JE ME SOM 3 123

So, the cantilever beam has a maximum bending moment at the fixed end. and it is given as, \(M=\frac{wL^2}{2}\)

where w = rate of loading

Calculation:

Given:

M = 8100 N-m, L = 9 m

\(8100=\frac{w~\times~ 9^2}{2}\)

w = 200 N/m
