Which of the above statements are correct? Correct Answer 1 and 4 only

Explanation:

Euler’s equation

P = (π2E I)/Le2

Where P= Critical load,

E= Modulus of elasticity, I= Moment of inertia

 le= Effective length of the column

Euler’s equation for a critical load of a column depends as follows:

  • The critical load of a column is proportional to the flexural rigidity (EI).
  • The critical load of a column is inversely proportional to the square of the effective length of the column (Le2).
  • The critical load of a column is proportional to the moment of inertia (I).
