A $12-$ft$-$long, wood column with E $=1\mathrm{.}7$ Msi. Find a rectangular section that can support an axial load of $3,600$ lb$.$

$2.$ Determine the minimum required Area $"$A$"$ so that the wood column does not fail, due to the Allowable Buckling Stress.$$

Input your answer in in$2,$ with ONE decimal place.

$3.$Which "nominal" cross section should you select?$$ Make sure to consider the "dressed" sizes.

BUT input the "nominal" size as your answer below, as follows $->$ X$"$ x X$"($for example, $1"$ x $1")$

$4.$Based on this cross sectional area selection, what is the Allowable Buckling Force for this wood column?

Input your answer in lb$,$ and use NO decimal place.

$5.$Now let's check to see what Load would cause the sample to fail due to Yielding, not Buckling.

Using the "minimum" Yield Stress for Wood $($see the Presentation$),$ determine the Load that would cause the wood column to fail due to yielding.

Input your answer in lb$,$ with NO decimal place.
