Yes, there would be a slight difference in the lengths of the girder when placed vertically and horizontally.
When the girder is placed on the ground, it is under the stress of its own weight. The stress is the force (due to its weight) per unit area. Mathematically, Stress = Force/Area.
Really helpful sir
what about the width of the girder when placed horizontally?
