Critical Buckling Load Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Critical Buckling Load?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Pcr=A(π2ELcrratio2)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Pcr=0.0688(π22E+11N/m²1602)
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
Pcr=0.0688(3.141622E+11N/m²1602)
Next Step Convert Units
Pcr=0.0688(3.141622E+11Pa1602)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Pcr=0.0688(3.141622E+111602)
Next Step Evaluate
Pcr=5304912.36558553N
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
Pcr=5304.91236558553kN
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Pcr=5304.9124kN
