@Usha.

Elastic strength of beam with double Length will be double not half.

Right, Thanks @Usha.

B) 1/2 is correct.

Vinay BEL said:   5 years ago
[B]. One-half is correct.

Same is the answer,
Elastic strength means section modulus and it is not dependent on the length.
As you guys find other questions related to elastic strength find out the section modulus.
So here also be the same.
So the answer is A. Same.

Strength doesn't depend on the length of the beam.
The strength of beam purely depends on its section modulus (Z).

So the correct answer is A.

Option A is correct.

One half,(b=a/2).
Pl/ae=2pl/ae.
A=2B.
B=A/2.

Anuj said:   6 years ago
Correct @Usha.

Usha said:   6 years ago
σ1= M/z1=w*l/z,
σ2= M/z2=w*(2*l,)
Z1=z2 as b,d are same.

So, σ1/σ2 = 1/2.
