Abstract
A material is exposed that appears to be appropriate for the future strength of materials textbooks. The described solution is simpler than the classical solution by Euler derived over 250 years ago. The material, although elementary in mathematical terms, represents a simple example of a semi-inverse design problem and leads to the closed-form solution. The material can be covered within 2 lecture hours of 50 minutes duration each.
