A beam is loaded as cantilever. If the load at the end is increased, the failure will occur
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
In a cantilever beam, the maximum bending moment occurs at the support where the beam is fixed.
When the load at the end is increased, the stress at the support increases significantly.
As a result, the failure is most likely to occur at the support, where the bending stress is the highest.
When the load at the end is increased, the stress at the support increases significantly.
As a result, the failure is most likely to occur at the support, where the bending stress is the highest.
