A hollow, circular, steel column (E = 30,000 ksi) is subjected to a compressive load P. The column has length L = 8.0 ft and outside diameter d= 7.5 in. The load P = 85 k. If the allowable compressive stress is 7000 psi and the allowable shortening of the column is 0.02 in., what is the minimum required wall thickness t min?
