A 1-in.-square aluminum strut is maintained in the position shown by a pin support at A and by sets of rollers at B and C that prevent rotation of the strut in the plane of the figure. Knowing that L_AB = 3 ft, determine (a) the largest values of L_BC and L_CD that can be used if the allowable load P is to be as large as possible, (b) the magnitude of the corresponding allowable load. Consider only buckling in the plane of the figure and use E = 10.4 × 10⁶ psi.
