Sample Problem
The uniform column consists of an 8-ft section of
structural tubing having the cross-section shown.

• Using Eulers formula and a factor of safety of
  two, determine the allowable centric load for the
  column and the corresponding normal stress.
• Assuming that the allowable load, found in part
  a, is applied at a point 0.75 in. from the
  geometric axis of the column, determine the
  horizontal deflection of the top of the column
  and the maximum normal stress in the column.
