Question: A steel column shown below has a fixed - end and a free - end, with a cross sectional area of 6 0 0 c

A steel column shown below has a fixed-end and a free-end, with a cross sectional area of 600cm2 and a length of 3m. The moment of inertia about x-axis is 45000cm4, and the moment of inertia about y-axis is 20000cm4. The yielding strength of steel is 180MPa. The modulus of elasticity is 200GPa.
(1) If an axial load is applied at the top of column along the z- axis, which direction will the column buckle firstly? Please draw the buckling of the column, and explain why. (5 points)
(2) Will the column yield? Determine the maximum theoretical load this column can support without buckling and without yielding. (Answer rounded to 0.1kN)
