Here is a simpler workaround which does not modify your definition of V(x).

Actually you don't have to split the integral at x=L/2. Any position lower than x=9.52m would work OK.

Thank you, but I don't want to derive the moment and the shear force diagram since I already know the functions. I want help with the plot.

Then attach your Prime worksheet with a clear description of your problem, and state which version of Prime you are using.
