Question: Values : A = 5 0 , B = 1 , D = 4 0 , h = 2 5 4 , w = 1

Values : A=50, B=1, D=40, h=254, w=102, L=5, k=28, M=25, S1=170, S2=165, T=800
Justify your selection of a suitable column if its cross-sectional depth and breadth are h mm and w mm respectively and length L m, when fixed at both ends, by determining:
i) The least second moment of area (moment of inertia)
ii) The least radius of gyration
iii) The slenderness ratio
iv) Your justifiable choice of mass per unit length of the column
v) Whether the column is likely to fail under buckling or compression first (if it supports a vertical compressive load)
