A W8x35 with Fy = 345  MPa is used as  a compression member pinned at the bottom, fixed at the top.  What  should be the maximum length of the member (in m) so that  it will not have a possible elastic buckling if rx = 89.15 mm and ry = 51.56 mm .  Use theoretical value of k.  Write the answer in one decimal place. Calculate the allowable axial capacity in kN if Fy = 248 MPa.  Write your answer rounded to the nearest whole number.
