The neutral axis in a beam is subjected to ____________ bending stres

Azero

Bminimum

Cmaximum

Dinfinite

Answer:

A. zero

Read Explanation:

The bending stress in a beam varies linearly from zero at the neutral axis to a maximum at the outer surface. The neutral axis is subjected to zero bending stress as per the bending equation. The stress is directly proportional to the distance from the neutral axis.
