What happens to the deflection of a beam when its length increases?

51. What happens to the deflection of a beam when its length increases?

1. Deflection remains constant
2. Deflection increases
3. Deflection decreases
4. Deflection becomes unpredictable

Answer

The correct answer is: B) Deflection increases

Explanation

Due to the increasing bending force throughout the beam's length, the deflection rises as the beam's length does as well.
