Question
### Structural Mechanics: Buckling Analysis of a Pinned Frame

#### Problem Statement:
The frame shown is pinned at points \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \). A single downward vertical force is applied at pin \( B \). Solid rods \( AB \) and \( BC \) have a diameter \( d = 10 \, \text{mm} \) and are made out of aluminum. You may assume rods \( AB \) and \( BC \) are massless.

**Objective:**
Determine the largest force \( F_{\text{max}} \) that can be applied to the structure before the onset of buckling in either rod \( AB \) or rod \( BC \) is imminent.

#### Diagram Analysis:
- The geometry of the frame is displayed on a grid with all dimensions in millimeters.
- The distance between point \( A \) and the horizontal pivot under \( B \) is 400 mm.
- The length of rod \( AB \) is 212.6 mm.
- The length of rod \( BC \) is 305.3 mm.
- A downward force \( F_{\text{max}} \) is applied at pin \( B \).

#### Note:
- The solution involves calculating \( F_{\text{max}} \) considering the critical buckling load for the aluminum rods.
- Numerical tolerances: \( \text{rtol} = 0.01 \), \( \text{atol} = 1 \times 10^{-5} \).

The calculation involves applying principles from buckling analysis, and using the provided geometry and material properties to find when an applied force results in buckling.
