Z = I/Ymax.
Za = bd^3/(12*d/2),
Zb = b(2d)^3/(12*2d/2),
ZaZb = 1/4.
(1)

Elastic strength is very similar to section modulus.

Yes, the answer is same z doesn't depend on length.

@Random Iq

Nice and correct explanation. Thanks.

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

I think it will be same. Agree @Apcivilian.

4 times as section modulus --> bd^2/6.

What is elastic strength?

[B]. One-half is correct.
