Best Answer

The beam will deflect in the direction of the load

This is Hooke's law, which states that load is proportional to deflection

What actually happens when load is applied to the beam and why does this condition occur?

the beam gets bend if the load is more then the resisting force of the beam and if the resisting force is more then the load it doesn't bends.


What happens when a load is applied to the beam?

when the load is applied in the beam then deflection takes place. the nature of the deflection depends on the support provided on it


What is a force applied but nothing happens?

nothing


What shape has best section modulus?

The answer depends of the forces applied to the beam: - for a single-directional force, the answer is a hollow rectangular shape (with the force applied on the narrow face); an I-beam is the second best. - For forces applied in two perpendicular directions, the answer is a hollow square section. - For forces applied from any direction, the answer is a hollow circular bar - a pipe.


What happens when a force is applied to an object?

The object will not move!!!


What happens to acceleration is force increases?

it increases in direct proportion to the force applied


When acceleration is increased what happens to force?

it increases in direct proportion to the force applied


Does gravity exist on the inside of a beam of light?

light is made up of small energy packets known as photons which are massless and as gravity depends on the mass of the particle therefore there is no gravitational force applied on or applied by a beam of light.

Define shear strain in civil engineering?

Strain shows how much longer a beam becomes after applying a force in a chosen direction.Strain = change of length of the the beam / original length of the beamIn case of Shear Strain force is applied only parallel to the surface of the beam (not normal to it).The same principal can be applied not only to beams, but to other civil engineering components as well.


What happens to a moving object when force is applied?

The object is accelerated in the direction of the net (or resultant) force.
