For crippling load calculation, we use 0.707l.

But in general, .8l is taken.

So, the answer should be 3.2.

If fixed at one end and hinged at one end then,

=> l/under root 2.

= 4/under root 2 = 2.8.

Condition Fix Hinge:

By SOM 0.707L Ans: 2.8L.
By IS Code 0.8 L Ans : 3.2L.

L/√2 ;(4/√2) = 2.8.
