Which scenario best exemplifies combined bending in practical engineering applications?

45. Which scenario best exemplifies combined bending in practical engineering applications?

1. A rope being pulled from both ends simultaneously
2. A beam experiencing both axial compression and bending
3. A spring undergoing torsional deformation
4. A column subjected to pure axial loading

Answer

The correct answer is: B) A beam experiencing both axial compression and bending

Explanation

This scenario reflects combined bending where the beam is subjected to both bending and axial loads simultaneously, which is common in many structural systems.
