Load Definition and 1000 Threads

Dear experts, Do you know the buckling load of a column (one end clamped one end free) under axial compressive and transverse lateral forces (applied combined at top free end)? Does the lateral load reduce the critical load or just reduces the stiffness of the column? Would you help me? -Thanks!

If I have a jack stand that is essentially a tri-pod, with all legs at the base equidistant from the center tube, and a 36,000 pound load on the jack. What is the compression in each leg given these dimensions? My attempt: Each reaction in the vertical direction is 1/3 the load, and there...
