An aluminum alloy tube with an outside diameter of 4.1 in. and a wall thickness of 0.24 in. is used as a 18-ft-long column. Assume that E = 9800 ksi and that pinned connections are used at each end of the column. Determine the slenderness ratio L/r and the Euler buckling load Pcr for the column. Answers: L/r= i Pcr = i kips
