The load capacity of a cantilever column can be calculated using the following formula:
Load capacity = (Young's modulus of the material x Moment of inertia of the column)/(Length of the column)^2
Where:
Young's modulus: The measure of stiffness of the material the column is made of.
Moment of inertia: The measure of the resistance of the column to bending due to its shape.
Length of the column: The distance between the base of the column and the point where the load is applied.
By plugging in the values for Young's modulus, moment of inertia, and length of the column, the load capacity can be calculated.
