Diagonal tension arises from the combined effect of shear and normal stresses. In a beam, shear stress is maximum at the neutral axis, and this shear stress induces diagonal tension. The magnitude of diagonal tension increases as you move away from the neutral axis towards the extreme fibers.
Diagonal tension in a beam A) Is maximum at neutral axis B) Decreases below the neutral axis and increases above the neutral axis C) Increases below the neutral axis and decreases above the neutral axis D) Remains same
