What happens to a cantilever beam under a negative shear force?

12. What happens to a cantilever beam under a negative shear force?

1. The beam experiences tension throughout its length due to elongation
2. The beam experiences compression throughout its length due to compression forces
3. The beam experiences shear deformation along its length
4. The beam experiences no significant deformation

Answer

The correct answer is: B) The beam experiences compression throughout its length due to compression forces

Explanation

The beam experiences compression throughout its length due to the negative shear force.
