Question

The deflection of a 160-cm-long beam in bending will be _____ times the deflection of an equivalent 120-cm-long beam.1.330.560.751.782.370.42

Answer 1

Given data

*The deflection of the length of the beam in bending is 160 cm

*The equivalent length of the beam is 120 cm

The deflection of a 160-cm-long beam in bending is calculated as

$\begin{gathered} l=\frac{160}{120} \\ =1.33 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the deflection of a 160-cm-long beam in bending will be 1.33 times the deflection of an equivalent 120-cm-long beam
