2) l
3) 0.5l
4) 0.707l​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

The equivalent length of a column of length is hinged at its both ends  will be equal to

Explanation:

• 2) L is the correct answer.
• Effective length is defined as the distance between two adjacent points of zero bending moment.
• If both ends are hinged then its equivalent length will be L.
• The value of effective length varies according to the support condition.
