A bent in American English is a transverse rigid frame (or similar structures such as three-hinged arches). Historically, bents were a common way of making a timber frame ; they are still often used for such, and are also seen in small steel-frame buildings, where the term portal frame is more commonly used.
The minimum bend radius is in general also a function of tensile stresses, e.g., during installation, while being bent around a sheave while the fiber or cable is under tension. If no minimum bend radius is specified, one is usually safe in assuming a minimum long-term low-stress radius not less than 15 times the cable diameter, or 2 inches.
4. A bent pin that has been pushed flat against the mating surface of its insert may be slightly curved. 5. An unwired bent pin that can touch two or more electrical paths simultaneously has open and shorted failure modes. Ground Rule 1 means that a pin can be bent to lie on the mating surface of its insert, or it does not bend at all.
You passed the test if your back and the back of your lowered thigh is flat against the bed, and your hanging knee is bent at a 90-degree angle off the surface. Photo credit: Trevor Raab
It is often argued that open-ended questions (i.e. questions that elicit more than a yes/no answers) are preferable because they open up discussion and enquiry. Peter Worley argues that this is a false assumption. This is based on Worley's central arguments that there are two different kinds of open and closed questions: grammatical and conceptual.
A printed quiz on health issues. A quiz is a form of mind sport in which people attempt to answer questions correctly on one or several topics. Quizzes can be used as a brief assessment in education and similar fields to measure growth in knowledge, abilities, and skills, or simply as a hobby.
The lifter would then bend to the left, holding the weight in the same position. The bent position, the origin of the name "bent press", allows the arm to hold the weight in position without dropping, because of the body's leverage, creating an imaginary line between the bell and the floor that travels through the right arm and right leg.
