Sorry, but I don't trust any website that looks like it was created on Geocities circa 1994.

Plus: what McEngr said. The questions are questionable, not to mention the answers.

Grade: F

 
Well, looks aside the content of the questions is geared more for the structural AM found on the Civil PE exam. As we all know, it won't simply cut it on the SE exam.

I can also say that his IP address isn't from around here. Most likely trying to drum up business for the website.

Questions and answers are correctly worded;

For axially loaded member,

displacement = PL/ AE

or, P = (displacement) x (AE)/L

from the above relation; the force required to produce unit displacement = AE/L

Axial stiffness is defined as AE/L

therefore the question for stiffness is correctly worded
