The aluminum column is fixed at its bottom and is braced at its top by two rods
so as to prevent movement at the top along the x axis, If it is assumed to be fixed
at its base, determine the largest allowable load P that can be applied. Use a
factor of safety for buckling of F.S. = 3.0. Take Eal = 70 GPa, y = 215 MPa, A =
