A 2.00-m-long airplane compression strut has an elliptical cross section with major and minor diameters of b = 150 mm and a = 50.0 mm, respectively. Calculate the slenderness ratio for pinned ends. If the member is made of spruce wood with E = 11.0 GPa, determine the load P that can be carried by the column based on a factor of safety of SF = l.50, I = πba3/64, and A = πba/4.
