What is the load to cause the column of problem 2 to crush? Will the column buckle or crush first?

Extracted text: 2) Determine the critical axial buckling load for an 8 ¾ x 12 in. glu-laminated column braced at 10 ft from the bottom in the y axis for a total height of 25 ft. Assume pin connections at top and bottom. F. = 1750 psi, E = 1.8 x 10 psi. (Western cross section glu-lam data is in the text.) 3) What is the load to cause the column of problem 2) to crush? Will the column buckle or crush first?
