A beam of metal supported at the two ends is loaded at the centre. The depression at the centre is proportional to [CPMT 1983, 84]A) {{Y}^{2}} B) Y C) 1/Y D) 1/{{Y}^{2}}

Answer»

Depression in the beam is given by
δ = WL³/4Ybd³
Where W is weight , L is length , b is BREADTH, Y is Young's MODULUS and d is depth also δ is depression in the beam.
Here it is clear that ,
Depression in the beam is INVERSELY proportional to Young's modulus.
e.g., δ \propto 1/Y

Hence option (C) is correct.
