An aluminum tube AB with a circular cross section has a sliding support at the base and is pinned at the top to a horizontal beam supporting a load Q = 200 kN (see figure).
Determine the required thickness t of the tube if its outside diameter d is 200 mm and the desired factor of safety with respect to Euler buckling is n = 3.0. (Assume E = 72 GPa.)
