Q1:

Slenderness ratio of a long column, is

A area of cross-section divided by radius of gyration

B area of cross-section divided by least radius of gyration

C radius of gyration divided by area of cross-section

D length of column divided by least radius of gyration.

ANS:D - length of column divided by least radius of gyration.

Slenderness ratio=effective length /least radius of gyration.
