Find:
a. The maximum load if the member could fail in pure compression without any buckling.
b. The slenderness ratio of the member
c. The Euler buckling load
d. The ratio of the buckling load to the compressive strength if buckling is prevented
e. What is the buckling load if the member is braced against buckling at its midpoint (4ft) on
its weak axis only?
f. What is the buckling load if the member is braced against buckling at its midpoint on both
its weak and strong axes?
