Principal planes are subjected to
A. Normal stresses only
B. Tangential stresses only
C. Normal stresses as well as tangential stresses
D. None of these
A. $$\frac{{\text{M}}}{{\text{I}}} = \frac{{\text{R}}}{{\text{E}}} = \frac{{\text{F}}}{{\text{Y}}}$$
B. $$\frac{{\text{I}}}{{\text{M}}} = \frac{{\text{R}}}{{\text{E}}} = \frac{{\text{F}}}{{\text{Y}}}$$
C. $$\frac{{\text{M}}}{{\text{I}}} = \frac{{\text{E}}}{{\text{R}}} = \frac{{\text{F}}}{{\text{Y}}}$$
D. $$\frac{{\text{M}}}{{\text{I}}} = \frac{{\text{E}}}{{\text{R}}} = \frac{{\text{Y}}}{{\text{F}}}$$
A. $$\frac{{\text{M}}}{{\text{T}}}$$
B. $$\frac{{\text{T}}}{{\text{M}}}$$
C. $$\frac{{2{\text{M}}}}{{\text{T}}}$$
D. $$\frac{{2{\text{T}}}}{{\text{M}}}$$
When both ends of a column are fixed, its effective length is half of its actual length (L/2). Therefore, the equivalent length is expressed as L².
