Change in length= PL/AE.

I will also go with the 1st option i.e, same. Because elastic strength means section modulus and it does not depend upon length.

If length increase moment increase if moment double bending becomes double and strength becomes half.

I also think its same because elastic strength corresponds to the moment of resistance which is directly proportional to the sectional modulus.

Can Anyone explain What Is Elastic Strength?

And how can we find it?

Flexural strength (σ)= (3FL)/(2*bd^2), what about this? Please explain.

(PL/AE)a * (PL/AE)b.

Now increase the length by 2 in b.
(PL/AE)a * (2PL/AE)b.
(a/b)=(1/2),
b = 2a.
