Rankine theory is applicable to the ______

AShort strut/column

BLong column

CBoth short and long column

DNone of these

Answer:

C. Both short and long column

Read Explanation:

Rankine's theory is applicable to both short and long columns. The formula for crippling load by Rankine's formula is.

\frac1P =\frac {1}{P_{C}} +\frac{1}{P_{E}}

In the Euler's crippling load, the column which has both ends fixed is _______________times of the column which has both ends hinged.

Match List-I (End conditions of columns) with List-ll (Equivalent length in terms of hinged-hinged column) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists

	List I		List II
a	Both ends Hinged	1	$L_e=L$
d	One end fixed and other end is free	2	$L_e=\frac {L}{\sqrt2}$
c	One end fixed and other end is hinged	3	$L_e=\frac L2$
d	Both ends Fixed	4	$L_e=2L$

______________ is elastic instability which results in sudden large lateral deflection.
