Question

A column has a 4.8 cm by 8.7 cm rectangular cross section and a height 4 mm . The column is fixed at both ends and has a lateral support at mid-height for the weak axis. The material has E = 200 GPa and σY = 250 MPa.a. The factor of safety for the column yielding is FS 1.5. What is the maximum load that can be applied based on the column yielding due to the normal stress? Assume the load is applied at the centroid of the section. Express your answer with appropriate units to three significant figures. b. The design is to have a factor of safety for buckling FS 2.5. What is the maximum load based on buckling in the strong axis of the column? Express your answer with appropriate units to three significant figures.

Answer 1

I’m literally so sorry
