Problem $13\mathrm{.}13$

An L$-2$ tool steel link in a forging machine in $($Figure $1)$ is pin connected to the forks at its ends as shown. Use a factor of safety with respect to buckling of F$.$ S$.\backslash (=2\mathrm{.}75\backslash ).$

Part A

Determine the maximum load $\backslash ($ P $\backslash )$ it can carry without buckling. Note from the figure on the left that the ends are pinned for buckling, whereas from the figure on the right the ends are fixed.

Express your answer in kilopounds to three significant figures.
