A simply supported beam of 10 m carries a uniformly distributed load (UDL) of 5 kN/m over its entire span. What is the reaction force at each support?

Correct option is C

Total load = UDL × span = 5 kN/m × 10 m = 50 kN

For a simply supported beam with symmetric loading, the load is shared equally:

Reaction at each support = 50/2 = 25 kN
