As per formula, Slenderness ratio = r/l.

So how the answer is 80?

4 * 100 = 4000mm, 5cm = 500,4000/500 = 80.

Slenderness ratio = L/r.
= 4m/5cm = 400cm/5cm.
= 80cm.

400/5 = 80, l/r = slenderness ratio.

No specific unit is given for radius of gyration then how can you convert the unit of length from meters to centimeters?

Priyanka o said:   9 years ago
Yes. How to convert centimeters?

Durga said:   9 years ago
Yes. How to convert?

Shubham Agrawal said:   9 years ago
As per the option, the only possible conversion is from 4m = 400cm.

It seems the gyration radius should be in the unit of cm r=50mm You are correct @Laxman.

Dinesh said:   6 years ago
Slenderness ratio = r/L.

So, 5/4 -> 5*100=500 & 4 m*1000=4000 mm,
Then, 500/4000 = 1/8.
= 1/8 Means 80 as it is the ratio..
