Question: A compression member of rectangular cross section has an effective length of 3 6 in . and is made of the aluminum alloy 2 0

A compression member of rectangular cross section has an effective length of 36 in . and is made of the aluminum alloy 2014-T6 for
which the allowable stress in bending is 24 ksi . Using the interaction method, determine the smallest dimension d of the cross section
that can be used when e=0.2in. Take P=35 kips. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
