Question: Do calculations to check whether the timber studs in the wall along gridline A , with nominal section size 1 5 0 mm x 5

Do calculations to check whether the timber studs in the wall along gridline A, with nominal section size 150mm x 50mm (these are rough sawn dimensions and once dried, assume section size is 140mm x 45mm) are able to sustain a ULS compression load due to 1.2G+1.5Q of N*=5kN. Assume that the timber is SG8 and note that both the section strength and member buckling needs to be checked (i.e. do the checks as per Chapter 3 of reader). Report the critical (maximum) ratio of axial force demand to capacity. For the column end restraint conditions, treat as studs in light framing(refer Table 3.1 of reader)=g13=0.9
2a) What is the ratio of axial force demand to capacity, considering major-axis buckling?
2b) What is the ratio of axial force demand to capacity, considering minor-axis buckling? [%]
2c) What is the critical ratio of axial force demand to capacity? [%]
