Hi, in these column bucking notes (photo attached below) it says that bar BC will buckle first out of all the other bars in compression, but it does not explain why. I know it has the highest compressive force in it and also the longer length, but what if the bar had the highest comrpessive force but the shortest length? Would it still be the critical bar?
