Euler’s Formula is used to determine which of the following properties related to a simply-supported column?

Maximum bending moment
Critical buckling load
Shear stress
None of the above

Explanation

Answer: B - Euler’s Formula is used to determine the critical buckling load of a simply-supported column. Euler’s Formula is expressed as follows:

F_cr = (E x I)(π²)/L²

Where:
E = Young’s modulus of the material used to construct the column
I = cross-sectional area moment of inertia
L = column length
