The compound beam shown in the figure consists of a cantilever beam AB (length L) that is pin-connected to a simple beam BD (length 2L). After the beam is constructed, a clearance c exists between the beam and a support at C, midway between points B and ZX Subsequently, a uniform load is placed along the entire length of the beam.

A horizontal beam AB is pin-supported at end A and carries a clockwise moment M at joint B, as shown in the figure. The beam is also supported at C by a pinned-end column of length L: the column is restrained laterally at 0.6Z, from the base at D. Assume the column can only buckle in the plane of the frame. The column is a solid steel bar (E = 200 GPa) of square cross section having length L = 2.4 m and side dimensions h = 70 mm. Let dimensions d = LI2. Based upon the critical load of the column, determine the allowable moment M if the factor of safety with respect to buckling is n = 2.0.
