Question

A tank, Figure Q5, of a mass of 1850 kg is supported by four metal alloy (E = 50GPa) columns of a tubular cross-section with an outer diameter do = 64 mm and a thickness t = 3 mm. The columns are assumed to be loaded equally and securely fixed to the tank and to a brace at 1.2 m from the ground. The brace itself is supported by four other columns with the same cross-sectional and material properties to those supporting the tank but are assumed to be firmly fixed to the brace and free at the ground level. With respect to Euler buckling, calculate the factor of safety for the columns below the brace and the maximum length, L1 of the columns above the brace to achieve the same factor of safety.
