The A-36-steel W12 × 50 column is fixed at its base. Its top is constrained so that it cannot move along the x - x axis but it is free to rotate about and move along the y - y axis. If the eccentric force P = 15 kip is applied to the column, investigate if the column is adequate to support the loading. Use the allowable stress method.
