16. What is the significance of determining positive shear forces in beam analysis?

1. Positive shear forces determine the maximum bending stress in the beam
2. Positive shear forces help in calculating the maximum deflection of the beam
3. Positive shear forces ensure the stability of the beam
4. Positive shear forces help in understanding the internal forces and behavior of the beam

Answer

The correct answer is: D) Positive shear forces help in understanding the internal forces and behavior of the beam

Explanation

Positive shear forces play a crucial role in understanding the internal forces and behavior of the beam, aiding in structural analysis.
