Question

Slenderness ratio of a 5 m long column hinged at both ends and having a circular cross section with diameter 16 cm is

Answer 1

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Slenderness ratio of a 5 m long column hinged at both ends and having a circular cross section with diameter 16 cm is

5 m = 500 cm

Given λ = I eff / r min

               = 500 / r min

     I min = Ar^2 min

      r min = √ I / A

                = √ π (16)^4 x 4 / 64 x π(16)^2

  So r min = 4  

  Now λ = 500 / 4 = 125
