Question: Plot the nominal compressive strength ( no factors ) for flexural buckling about the x - axis and y - axis like the one shown

Plot the nominal compressive strength (no factors) for flexural buckling about the x-axis and y-axis like the one shown below for the W3x2.54 column we tested in the lab. The plot should look like the one shown below (axis values and labels were removed). You should include axis labels and values. The vertical axis should be compressive strength in kips and the horizontal axis should be effective length in inches. Include vertical lines that distinguish the transition point from inelastic to elastic buckling and include the dashed lines that represent the theoretical column strength based on squash load and Euler buckling strength.
