Euler's crippling load formula gives buckling load of long columns that is the ultimate load a column can take. Mathematically Euler's formula can be expressed as ________

  • A.\(P = \frac{\pi^{2}EI}{L^{2}}\)
  • B.\(P = \frac{\pi^{2}EI}{4L^{2}}\)
  • C.\(P = \frac{2\pi^{2}EI}{L^{2}}\)
  • D.\(P = \frac{4\pi^{2}EI}{L^{2}}\)

Answer: A

Euler's formula is \(P = \frac{\pi^2 EI}{L^2}\).

For a long column with both ends pinned (the basic case), Euler's theory gives the crippling load

\[ P = \frac{\pi^2 EI}{L_e^2}, \quad L_e = L \]

The other forms are the same formula for other end conditions: one end fixed and the other free gives \(\frac{\pi^2EI}{4L^2}\), one fixed and one pinned about \(\frac{2\pi^2EI}{L^2}\), and both ends fixed \(\frac{4\pi^2EI}{L^2}\). The question asks for the basic expression, which is the pinned-pinned one.
