Two columns are of equal length, equal supporting conditions, made of the same material, but of different cross section as shown in the image below. The cross sections are equal in area but different in shape: one is square and the other is rectangular. Columns are loaded with a comprehensive force. Which of the following statements is true about whether one column or the other can be subjected to a greater force with buckling?   A. Both columns have equal critical force as their cross sections are equal in area. B. The column of the rectangular cross section is stronger against buckling. C. The column of the square cross section is stronger against buckling. D. Buckling is not possible for such structures. E. None of the above.
