Question: Local Stability 4 . 4 - 1 An HSS 1 0 8 3 1 6 is used as a compression member with one end pinned

Local Stability
4.4-1 An HSS 108316 is used as a compression member with one end pinned
and the other end fixed against rotation but free to translate. The length
is 12 feet. Compute the nominal compressive strength for A500 Grade B
steel (Fy=46ksi). Note that this is a slender-element compression member,
and the equations of AISC Section E7 must be used. (Note: I know the answers is 161 kips from the back of the book, I'm just confused how to get there)
