An overhang beam ABC is loaded with uniformly distributed load (UDL) throughout its entire span as per the figure below. The intensity of UDL is 12 kN/m. The bending moment at an intermediate point P (between A and B) is found to be zero. The length (in m) of the portion AP is (rounded off to two decimal places).

For the beam shown in the Figure, assuming a sagging moment (tensile stress at the bottom fibre) as positive and a hogging moment (tensile stress at the top fibre) as negative, the bending moment (in kN·m, rounded off to one decimal place) at section X–X is \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\).
