Practice Questions
Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.
Question 1
Easy
What is the formula for critical load (P_cr) according to Euler's theory?
💡 Hint: Think about the factors involved in the moment of inertia and effective length.
Question 2
Easy
Define 'effective length' in the context of column buckling.
💡 Hint: It’s not the physical length of the column!

Question 1
What does P_cr represent in Euler's formula?
- A measure of material yield
- The load at which a column buckles
- The moment of inertia
💡 Hint: Consider what happens to a column under excessive load.
Question 2
True or False: The effective length of a fixed-pinned column is L.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Recall the value associated with effective length for fixed-pinned configurations.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A column with a length of 8 m and cross-sectional area of 200 cm² is fixed at both ends. It has a Young’s modulus of 210 GPa. Calculate the critical load at which it will buckle.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to the conversion of units and the effective length.
Question 2
Discuss the effect of introducing an initial 1 cm indentation on a column with a slenderness ratio of 200. How would this affect the buckling load?
💡 Hint: Consider how real-world imperfections can cause deviations from theoretical predictions.
