A wooden column with a square cross-section of length 4250 mm is pinned at both ends. The Young's modulus of elasticity for wood is 12 GPa and the allowable compressive stress is 12 MPa. A 300 kN axial compressive load must be supported by the column. Calculate the column's minimum cross-sectional area (in mm2) using a factor of safety of 2.0 in the computation of Euler's buckling load (Assume degree of column buckling as 1).
