Question 1
What happens to a beam when it exceeds the critical buckling load?
- It stays straight
- It bends suddenly
- It cracks
💡 Hint: Think about the definition of buckling.
Question 2
True or False: A longer beam requires a greater load to buckle than a shorter beam.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Remember the inverse square relationship.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A beam with a bending stiffness EI = 5 N·m² is 2 meters long. Calculate the critical buckling load.
💡 Hint: Don’t forget to square the length in the denominator.
Question 2
A column fixed at one end and free at the other needs to support a load without buckling. If its length is 3 m and it has a bending stiffness of 10 N·m², what is the maximum load it can support?
💡 Hint: Remember that the factor π² will influence the load significantly.
