A
6-m long column is made of a steel girder W200x52 (see the section
properties in the last page). It is loaded concentrically through
the centroid of the section. Given that the steel has the elastic
modulus Est = 210 GPa and the yield stress Y = 340 MPa. Determine
the critical load (Euler Buckling Load, Pcr) where the support at
the column ends are fixed-free support
