Question 58
AENAT2 marksNeeds review
A prismatic vertical column of cross-section
and length
is rigidly fixed at the bottom and free at the top. A compressive force P is applied along the centroidal axis at the top surface. The Young’s modulus of the material is 200 GPa and the uniaxial yield stress is 400 MPa. If the critical value of P for yielding and for buckling of the column are equal, the value of
is ____ (rounded off to one decimal place).
