The correct answer is $\\frac{{\\text{L}}}{{\\sqrt 2 }}$.<\/p>\n

A column is a structural element that is designed to support loads primarily by compression. The equivalent length of a column is a measure of its stiffness, and it is used in the design of columns to ensure that they are not overloaded.<\/p>\n

The equivalent length of a column with one end fixed and the other end free is $\\frac{{\\text{L}}}{{\\sqrt 2 }}$. This is because the fixed end of the column provides no support against lateral movement, so the column is effectively twice as long as it actually is.<\/p>\n

The other options are incorrect because they do not take into account the fact that the fixed end of the column provides no support against lateral movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
