A student wants to compare the bending stiffness of two composite sheet samples for a prototype shelf. Which test provides the most meaningful comparison?
Use samples of equal dimensions and support spacing, then measure deflection under the same load.
Use a thick sample of one material and a thin sample of the other, then compare their bending by hand.
Load each sample differently until both bend by the same amount, without recording the loads.
Compare only the surface appearance of the two samples.
