please answer all parts and explain fully, this is for study purposes so concepts matter. thank you!!!
(20) The steel bar \( A B \) has a rectangular cross section as shown and is pin-connected in both the \( x \& y \) directions at its ends. The material is A-36 structural steel.
a. Will the bar buckle about the \( x \) or \( y \) axis?
b. Calculate the critical buckling load for column \( A B \).
c. Using a factor of safety with respect to buckling of 1.5, determine the maximum allowable intensity \( w \) of the distributed load that can be applied to \( B C \) without causing \( A B \) to buckle. Be sure to include any necessary free-body diagrams.
d. If the proportional limit of the material is 0.9 times the yield stress, does Euler buckling apply? Use calculations to support this conclusion.
