Solved: The steel bar AB has a rectangular cross section.
Chapter 13, Problem 13-31(choose chapter or problem)
The steel bar AB has a rectangular cross section. If it is pin connected at its ends, determine the maximum allowable intensity w of the distributed load that can be applied to BC without causing AB to buckle. Use a factor of safety with respect to buckling of 1.5. \(E_{\mathrm{st}}=200 \mathrm{GPa}, \sigma_{Y}=360 \mathrm{MPa}\).
