Question $5$

A steel column in a process plant structure cantilevers vertically from the ground to its top; it has no lateral support at its top and is

free to move horizontally in any direction.

The $305305118$ Universal Column has a second moment of area of $I=9,061c{m}^4$ about its minor axis and a Young's Modulus of

$E=210,000\frac{N}{m}{m}^2$

For an actual length of $L=2,988mm,$ what is the maximum Euler buckling load in $kN,$ the column can accommodate before it

buckles?

Kindly provide your answer with one decimal place and without units of measurement.

Give your answer as a positive number $($no minus sign$).$
