The load's biography
- The bracket arm is a simply supported beam, $L = 3\ \mathrm{m}$, central $P = 6\ \mathrm{kN}$. Cut it and balance each side: reactions $3\ \mathrm{kN}$, the shear force 剪力 $V$ steps $+3 \to -3$ kN at the load, and the bending moment 弯矩 $M$ ramps to $M_{max} = PL/4 = \mathbf{4.5}\ \mathrm{kN\,m}$ mid-span.

PL/4.
Under a central point load on a simply supported span, the moment diagram is:

Linear ramps to PL/4 at the load point.
Sections, with signs
- Sagging is positive - the sign convention is part of the answer, not decoration. The $3\ \mathrm{kN}$ left reaction lifts the left cut, so $V = +3$ kN on the left half and $M = 3x$ grows to $\mathbf{4.5}$ kN·m at the load.

The farthest fibre sits half the depth from the neutral axis.
The differential chain
- Load, shear and moment tie together: $dV/dx = -w(x)$ and $dM/dx = V$. A point load steps $V$ and kinks $M$; a uniform load tilts $V$ and bends $M$ parabolically - $w = 2\ \mathrm{kN/m}$ over the same span gives $M_{max} = wL^2/8 = \mathbf{2.25}\ \mathrm{kN\,m}$.
- Read the shape back: hinges carry no moment, free ends no shear, and $M$ peaks exactly where $V$ crosses zero.

Three diagram slips
- Dropping the sign convention. Sagging vs hogging changes every downstream sign.
- Peaking $M$ at a support. It peaks at the $V = 0$ point.
- Point-load shortcuts under distributed loads. Only reactions and the peak survive $wL^2/8$.
Recap
- Cut and balance: $V$ steps $\pm 3$ kN, $M_{max} = PL/4 = 4.5$ kN·m.
- $dV/dx = -w$, $dM/dx = V$; uniform load: $M_{max} = wL^2/8 = 2.25$ kN·m.
- $M$ peaks where $V$ crosses zero.
