Depth of the neutral axis.<\/p>\n<p>The section modulus is a property of a beam cross-section that is used to determine the beam&#8217;s resistance to bending. It is defined as the moment of inertia of the cross-section divided by the distance from the neutral axis to the extreme fiber. The neutral axis is the axis in a beam cross-section where there is no bending stress. The moment of inertia is a measure of how resistant a cross-section is to bending. The greater the moment of inertia, the more resistant the cross-section is to bending. The distance from the neutral axis to the extreme fiber is the distance from the neutral axis to the outermost fibers of the cross-section. The greater the distance from the neutral axis to the extreme fiber, the greater the resistance of the cross-section to bending.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A is incorrect because the depth of the section is not a factor in determining the section modulus.<\/li>\n<li>Option C is incorrect because the maximum tensile stress at the section is not a factor in determining the section modulus.<\/li>\n<li>Option D is incorrect because the maximum compressive stress at the section is not a factor in determining the section modulus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Depth of the section&#8221; option2=&#8221;Depth of the neutral axis&#8221; option3=&#8221;Maximum tensile stress at the section&#8221; option4=&#8221;Maximum compressive stress at the section&#8221; correct=&#8221;option2&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[639],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-theory-of-structures","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>At any point of a beam, the section modulus may be obtained by dividing the moment of inertia of the section by A.
