Problem 4. Columns AB and CD in the figure below have identical rectangular cross sections 50.0 mm by 75.0 mm. The columns are made of a metal that has the stress-strain diagram shown below. Column AB has clamped ends and column CD pinned ends. Assume that member F is rigid and weightless and that it is prevented from moving laterally. Also, neglect the rotation of member F due to a difference in shortening of the two columns. Determine the load Q that will first cause one of the columns to buckle. 200 mm- 400 mm 50.0 m B A F 1.40 m (a) 50.0 m Stress (MPa) 140 MPa 210 MPa 0 0.002 0.004 Strain (b)
