Question

The shape factor for a solid circular section of diameter D is equal to:

A.

D/2π

B.

16/3π

C.

πD/8

D.

15/2π

Correct option is B


The shape factor (also known as the section modulus) for a solid circular section is calculated based on its geometry and is used to assess its strength. For a solid circular section, the shape factor S is given by:
S = I/y
where I is the second moment of area (or moment of inertia) and y is the distance from the centroid to the extreme fiber. For a solid circular section with diameter D, the shape factor is:
