Reason (R) : The gib provides a larger bearing surface for the cotter to slide on and thus the
m

tendency of cotter to slacken back owing to friction is considerably decreased.

80. Assertion (A) : A long column fails (becomes elastically unstable) due to excessive
ru

bending.
Reason (R) : Euler’s buckling load is inversely proportional to the equivalent length of the
column.
