Question 1
What is buckling?
- Sudden bending of a beam
- Stretching of a beam
- Shearing of a beam
💡 Hint: It happens rather than crushing.
Question 2
True or False: The buckling load is the same for all beams of any length.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider how longer beams behave differently.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a beam with a rectangular cross-section (width = 0.1 m, height = 0.2 m), and Young's modulus = 70 GPa, calculate the buckling load for a length of 1.5 m. Assume the shape is solid.
💡 Hint: Calculate the moment of inertia first.
Question 2
In a practical application, a column is constrained at both ends. If a load of 5000 N is applied, discuss whether it would buckle based on the derived buckling load.
💡 Hint: Review the conditions for clamped columns.
