Answer: C– Bending moment and section modulus of beam
The flexural strength of the beam depends upon the bending moment and section modulus of the beam.
Solution:
As defined by scientists, flexural strength is a material’s resistance to breaking or fracture. Flexural strength reveals the amount of force needed to fracture a test sample with a certain measurement diameter. When this limit is reached, the test specimen cracks.
The flexural strength of the beam is given as
σb = M/Z
Where
- b is the flexural strength of the beam
- M is bending moment acting on the beam
- Z is the section modulus of the beam.
