The steel angle has a cross sectional area of 1550mm. A radius 


The steel angle has a cross sectional area of 1550mm. A radius of gyration about the x axis is 32mm and about y axis is 22mm. The smallest radius of gyration occurs about z axis is 16mm. If the angle is to be used as a pin-connected with 3m long column, determine the largest axial load that can be applied through its centroid, C without causing it to buckle, E= 200GPa
