A WF section of A572 Grade 60 steel is used as a compression member. It is 7.7 meters long, fixed at both ends, and has additional support in the weak direction at a point 3.4 meters from the top. The member resists a service dead load of 800 KN and a service liveload of 1200 KN. WF properties: A=23,973mm2, rx=135mm, ry=68mm. Calculate the largest slenderness ratio of the column. Express your answer in 2 decimal places.
