The formula for calculating it will depend on your endpoint support configuration, e.g. fixed-fixed, fixed-free, fixed-pinned, pinned-pinned (pinned-free and free-free are dynamic cases, and the math becomes a whole lot more fun) Try here for a tutorial in calculating bending moment.
So what would the equation/set up look like for a fixed-free configuration?
