Question: The column shown below is axially loaded at A and has constant section and, X and Y are principal axes. There is a lateral support

The column shown below is axially loaded at A and has constant section and, X and Y are principal axes. There is a lateral support in X-Z plane at c and no lateral support in Y-Z plane. Simple support at A in X and Y directions and fixed support at B in X and Y directions are applied.
If we wish to minimise the amount of material used for this column, what is the ration of IXX to IYY?
L1=0.8*L2
E =208 GPa
L2=3 m
