Question 4 / 40:  Which of the following correctly represents Euler's expression for the critical loading force at which bending begins for a long column? Here, E is Young's modulus, Leff is a measure of column length, A is the cross-sectional area of the column, and I is the area moment of inertia.
A  $$F_{cr} = EI \pi^2/L^2_{eff}$$
B  $$F_{cr} = EI \pi^3/L^2_{eff}$$
C  $$F_{cr} = EI /L^2_{eff}$$
D  $$F_{cr} = EI \pi^2/L^3_{eff}$$
E  $$F_{cr} = EI \pi^2/L_{eff}$$
<< First < Previous Next > Last >>
Explanation:

The value of Leff depends upon the column length and the termination or boundary conditions for the column. You may wish to review the reading for sub-subunit 3.3.4.
