Slenderness Ratio =Le/K,
K=√(I/A).

So,
Le=300,
K=√(2.5^4/12)/(2.5^2),
K=0.7216,
Le/K=300/0.7216,
Slenderness Ratio=415.69.

@All.

2.5^4÷12 /2.5 * 2.5 = 3.25 ÷ 6.25 = 0.52 this is the correct value.
So, 0.721 this value is wrong.

We Know that Slenderness Ratio is Equal to Length upon Radius of Gyration = L/r.
we have a value of L that is given in question 300.

So, now we need to calculate the value of r that is equal to under root I/A means r= under root I/A.

I Means Moment of Inertia, here for Square Section that is equal to a^4/12 and for A= a^4.
Now, you will get the answer 416.

Thank You.

Slenderness ratio=L/k =300/.72=416.
K= √(I/A).
I=bd^3/12 b=d.
I=d^4/12=(2.5) ^4/12/(2.5x2.5) =.52.
K=√.52/6.25=.72.

Slenderness ratio = effective length / radius of gyration.

Radius of gyration = Sqrt(moment of inertia/area of Cross section).

Moment of inertia (I) = b^4/12 (column is a square Cross section).

Assume given length as effective length put All values in the above equations. You will get answer.

Slend. ratio = L(eff)/r(min).

r(min) = ( I(min) / A )^0.5 = 2.5 / 2(3)^0.5

Therefore, S.R = 300 * 2(3)^0.5 / 2.5 = 415.2 closest to 416.

Can anyone answer?

Slender ness ratio of 5m long column effectively held in position at both ends, but not restrained against rotation and having a circular cross section of the diameter of 5 cm is?

Slenderness ratio=L effective/Kmin.

K=radius of gyration;K=sq root of i/a;i=moment of intertia @ a=cross sectional area.
k=solid circle=d/4,
K=square=a/2 root 3,
Sol:- K=2.5/2 root 3 =0.7122.
Slenderness ratio=300/0.71222=415.69.
