Euler’s Formula is used to determine which of the following properties related to a simply-supported column?
  1. Maximum bending moment
  2. Critical buckling load
  3. Shear stress
  4. 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:

Fcr = [(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
