Aerospace Structures • Strength of Materials & Elasticity • Euler Buckling of Columns & Energy Methods

A uniform column of length $L = 2.0\text{ m}$ is fixed at one end and free at the other (cantilever column). The effective length $L_{eff}$ for Euler buckling calculation is:

Answer Key:
4.0

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

### Solution: For a fixed-free column, effective length factor $K = 2.0$. Thus $L_{eff} = K \times L = 2.0 \times 2.0 = 4.0\text{ m}$. Correct: 4.0.
