An aluminium hollow box column of square cross section is fixed at the base and free at the top. The width of each side is b=150 mm and the thickness t=10 mm. A compressive load P = 160 KN acts on the outer edge of the column at the midpoint of the side as denoted by P. What is the longest permissible length L of the column if the stress is not to exceed 100 MPa? (E = 70 GPa) Section 4-A
