Problem 4: A steel column is subjected to a concentric compressive force \( N \) as shown in the figure below. It is assumed that the column is pinned at one end and the other end is a roller (in both \( x-x \) and \( y-y \) axes). The column has a rectangular cross-section area with \( b=20\mathrm{~cm}\) and \( h=30\mathrm{~cm}\). Based on the knowledge you have learned from the Strength of materials, you are to determine the critical compressive force (Euler formula), draw the shape of the column when the bifurcation buckling occurs, and give comments on the results (suggestions: make comments on the relations between the critical compressive force and material parameters, dimensions of cross-section, and column length)
