A pinned-end strut of aluminium (E = 10,400 ksi) with length L = 6 ft is constructed

Question:

A pinned-end strut of aluminium (E = 10,400 ksi) with length L = 6 ft is constructed of circular tubing with outside diameter d = 2 in. (see figure) The strut must resist an axial load P = 4 kips with a factor of safety n = 20 with respect to the critical load.
Determine the required thickness t of the tube.
