TGPSC HMWSSB Manager 2015 Paper 2 · Question 108
Question 108 of the TSPSC Manager (Engineering), HMWSSB, 2015: Paper 2 (Civil Engineering) (1 November 2015). Try it first, then open the answer and explanation.
A beam has a circular cross section. If the plane of loading on the beam does not coincide with the centroidal axis of the beam, the member is subjected to ______.
- axial force, shear force and bending moment
- torque, shear force
- torque, shear force and bending moment
- axial force, shear force and torque
Show answer
Answer: (3) torque, shear force and bending moment
A transverse load always produces shear force and bending moment; when its plane does not pass through the axis (shear centre) of the section, the eccentricity also produces a twisting moment (torque). There is no axial force because the load is transverse.
