Question:
In the case of unsymmetrical bending, the resultant deflection of a beam is
In the case of unsymmetrical bending, the resultant deflection of a beam is
Show Hint
Neutral axis is the axis about which bending occurs with zero stress.
Updated On: June 02, 2025
- perpendicular to the axis of symmetry
- parallel to the axis of symmetry
- perpendicular to the neutral axis
- parallel to the neutral axis
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
In unsymmetrical bending, the deflection occurs in the direction perpendicular to the neutral axis, which does not necessarily align with the principal axes.
