Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a steel column to support a load of 100 kN with a safety factor of 1.5. Given that the Young’s modulus is 210 GPa and moment of inertia is calculated to be 0.0002 m^4, determine the required effective length of the column.

💡 Hint: Remember to convert kN to N for consistent units!

Question 2

Evaluate the risks of using Euler’s formula for a manufactured column that has known defects in its material composition.

💡 Hint: Think about how real-world applications influence safety and design.
