The Euler buckling load of a 160-cm-long column will be _____ times the Euler buckling load of an equivalent 120-cm-long column.


1.78


0.56


0.75


2.37


1.33


0.42

Answer 1

Length in times = 0.75 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of Euler buckling load = 160 cm

Equivalent load length = 120 cm

Find:

Length in times

Computation:

Length in times = Equivalent load length / Length of Euler buckling load

Length in times = 120 / 160

Length in times = 12 / 16

Length in times = 3 / 4

Length in times = 0.75 times
