- Euler’s formula (pinned ends):
[ P_cr = \frac\pi^2 EIL^2 ] For other end conditions: replace ( L ) with effective length ( L_e = K L ).

Theorem 2:
The vertical deflection of a point on a beam is equal to the moment of the area under the bending moment diagram about that point, divided by the flexural rigidity (EI) of the beam. Euler’s formula (pinned ends): [ P_cr = \frac\pi^2
