A length of rolled steel channel is fixed rigidly at one end and is free at the other end
and is subjected to an axial load. It has a flange width of 59mm (A) and a depth of 42 mm (B).
Both the web and flange have a thickness of 6mm (C). The modulus of elasticity is 205 GPa and the yield stress is 226 MPa.
