Question

The load at which an axially loaded prop reaches its elastic limit or at which it begins to buckle is called

• A. Load bearing capacity
• B. Setting load
• C. Yield load
• D. Limit load

Hint:

For an axially loaded prop, \[ \boxed{ \text{Load bearing capacity} = \text{Maximum safe load before elastic failure or buckling.} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the definition of load bearing capacity. The load bearing capacity of a prop is the maximum load it can safely support before reaching its elastic limit or buckling.

Step 2: Identify the correct option. Since the question refers to the maximum safe axial load, \[ \boxed{\text{Load bearing capacity}} \] is the correct answer. Therefore, \[ \boxed{(A)} \] is the correct answer.
