It should be medium column. Because slenderness ratio is lying in 32 to 120.
UTKARSH said:   10 years ago
SR < 32 SHORT.

SR 32-120 MEDIUM.

AND SR >120 LONG COLUMN.

SR UPTO 50 - SHORT.
SR 50 - 200 - MEDIUM.
SR MORE THAN 200 - LONG.

SR<50 short column.
SR>115 long column.
50<SR<115 medium column.

For steel if slenderness ratio > 80 then it is long column and then only Eulers formula can be applied. If slenderness ratio < 80 it is short column and Eulers formula can't be applied.

Length of column to the least radius of gyration is greater than & equal to 100 is called as long column.

Answer is wrong it should be medium.

Slenderness Ratio Below 32 is Short Column.

Slenderness Ratio From 32 to 100 is Medium Column.

Slenderness Ratio Above 100 is Long Column.

Slenderness ratio for long column:- More than 120.

Slenderness ratio for Medium column:- Slenderness ratio lies between 32 to 120.

Slenderness ratio for short column:- Less than 32.

Le/r is called slenderness ratio. If it is > 120 it is called long beam. But mostly > 100 is preferred as long beam.
