Halving the wall thickness of an open section changes its torsion constant by a factor of
Answer: A
The St Venant torsion constant carries the cube on the thickness, so halving it divides the stiffness by \( 2^3 = 8 \). Contrast the closed-section case, where the stiffness depends on thickness only to the first power.
