Question: Problem # 5 - Column Analysis ( 2 0 points, 6 parts ) A 2 . 5 - in . diameter steel bar is used

Problem #5- Column Analysis (20 points, 6 parts)
A 2.5-in. diameter steel bar is used as an axially loaded pin-connected compression member. The ASTM A36 structural steel has a proportional limit of 36,000 psi and a modulus of elasticity of 29,000,000 psi. Complete the following:
Part A (4 points): Find the moment of inertia of the column.
Part B (4 points): Find the cross-sectional area of the column.
Part C (4 points): Find the radius of gyration of the column.
Part D (4 points): Calculate the shortest length for which Euler's formula applies.
Part points): Calculate the critical load if L=48 in.
Part F(2 points): Calculate the critical stress if L=48 in.
