(2w / × l²) at the fixed support(3w / × l²) at the fixed support(3w / × l²) at the fixed support(5w / × l²) at the fixed support

Explanation

For a cantilever beam of uniform strength and constant depth d, under a uniformly distributed load w that varies from zero at the free end to a maximum at the fixed end, the load intensity at the fixed support is given by (3w / × l²). This ensures the beam maintains uniform strength throughout its length.
