A nominal $\backslash (4\backslash$times $10\backslash )($actual size $3\mathrm{.}5$ inches $\backslash (\backslash$times $9\mathrm{.}25\backslash )$ inches$)$ has a length of $14$ feet with simple supports at each end. Assume the wood has a modulus of elasticity of $1,100,000$ psi and maximum compressive strength of $4,120$ psi. Ignore self$-$weight.

The force that will cause the column to buckle is most nearly pounds.

The force that will cause material failure of the column $($the "squash" load$)$ is most nearly pounds.

If an increasing compressive force is placed on the column, it will fail by $($buckling or material failure$).$
