Figure Q4(a) shows a steel beam with length of 4 m that is supported by a steel column at point B. The steel column of AB has a rectangular cross section (40 mm× 70 mm). The ends are assumed to be pin connected. The yield stress of steel is o y 250 MPa. The Modulus Elasticity of the steel is 200 GPa. Use factor of safety of 1.5. (i) Check whether the Euler's equation is appropriate or not. (ii) Determine the maximum distributed load (W) that can be applied to the beam so that the column of AB does not buckle.
