46. How does the type of support affect beam deflections?

1. Increases material strength
2. Only affects shear forces
3. Influences bending moments
4. It has no effect

Answer

The correct answer is: C) Influences bending moments

Explanation

The type of support significantly impacts the distribution of bending moments along the beam, thereby affecting its deflection characteristics.
