    What force is being applied to the ruler?   - ProProfs

    What force is being applied to the ruler?  

    • Tension

    • Compression

    • Torsion

    • Shear

    • Bending

    Correct Answer
    A. Bending
    Explanation
    The force being applied to the ruler is bending. Bending occurs when a force is applied to an object causing it to bend or deform. In the case of the ruler, the force is causing it to bend or curve. This can be seen when a ruler is placed on a table and pressure is applied to the middle, causing it to bend downwards. Bending is different from other forces such as tension, compression, torsion, and shear, which involve different types of deformation or stress on the object.
