10.5 An aluminum column 6 ft long has a solid rectangular cross section 3/4 in. by 2 in. The column is secured at each end with a bolt parallel to the 3/4-in. direction as shown in the figure. Thus, the ends can rotate about the z-axis but not about the y-axis. Find the largest allowable axial load using E= 10.3 x 106 psi, pl = 6000 psi, and a factor of safety of 2.
