(a)
The maximum height of the vertical column made by steel.
(a)
Answer to Problem 80GP
Maximum height of the vertical column made by steel without buckling is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Density of steel,
Maximum compressive strength of steel
Formula used:
Maximum height of the steel column is determined by using the relationship of compressive strength, density and gravity.
Calculation:
Substitute the given values;
Conclusion:
Thus, maximum height of the vertical column made by steel without buckling is
(b)
