The Moment of Inertia can be converted to metric units like
Iy = 5.78 in4 (0.0254 m/in)4
= 241 10-8 m4
The Euler buckling load can then be calculated as
F = (4) π2 (69 109 Pa) (241 10-8 m4) / (5 m)2
= 262594 N
= 263 kN
The term "L/r" is known as the slenderness ratio. L is the length of the column and r is the radiation of gyration for the column.
