Reactions:

Eq. 1
R1 = (7/16) w L

Eq. 2
R2 = (5/8) w L

Eq. 3
R3 = -(1/16) w L

Shear forces:

Eq. 4
V1 = (7/16) w L

Eq. 5
V2 = -(9/16) w L

Eq. 6
V3 = (1/16) w L

Bending moments:

Eq. 7
Mmax = (49/512) w L2
Eq. 7a
at x = (7/16) L

Eq. 8
MR -(1/16) w L2 at R2

Eq. 9
Mmax = ( wx / 16 ) ( 7L - 8x), 0 ≤ x ≤ L

Where

w = uniformly distributed load, lbf/in (N/m)
L = beam length, in, (m)
x = location, in (m)
R1, 2, 3 = reaction at support , lbf (N)
V1, 2, 3 = shear forces lbf, (N)
MR, max = bending moments, lb-in, (N-m)
