Chapter 13.3, Problem 13.11P
The A992 steel angle has a cross-sectional area of A = 2.48 in2 and a radius of gyration about the x axis of rx = 1.26 in. and about the y axis of ry = 0.879 in. The smallest radius of gyration occurs about the a-a axis and is ra = 0.644 in. If the angle is to be used as a pin-connected 10-ft-long column, determine the largest axial load that can be applied through its centroid C without causing it to buckle.

Problem (17): water flowing in an open channel of a rectangular cross-section with width (b) transitions from a
mild slope to a steep slope (i.e., from subcritical to supercritical flow) with normal water depths of (y₁) and

Problem (14): A pump is being used to lift water from an underground
tank through a pipe of diameter (d) at discharge (Q). The total head
loss until the pump entrance can be calculated as (h₁ = K[V²/2g]), h
where (V) is the flow velocity in the pipe. The elevation difference
