Question

what is the magnitude of the maximum vertical shear in simple beams? equal to the sum of loads on the beam equal to the smaller reaction equal to the greater reaction equal to the sum of the reactions

Explanation:

In simple beams, the maximum vertical shear occurs at the support with the greater reaction. This is because shear force is related to the un - balanced load on either side of a section and the reactions at supports play a crucial role in determining the shear force values.

Answer:

equal to the greater reaction
