SFD and BMD example 2

The video tutorial explains how to draw shear force and bending moment diagrams for a simply supported beam with a uniformly distributed load. It begins with an introduction to beam support types and distributed loads, followed by drawing a free body diagram and calculating reaction forces using static equilibrium equations. The tutorial then covers the calculation of shear force and bending moment along the beam, and concludes with plotting the diagrams and summarizing the process.

Explain how a uniformly distributed load is represented in terms of force per unit length.
