Euler has formulated the formula for those columns which fail by both crushing as well as buckling. But short columns fail only by crushing so only long columns obey eulers formula.

Euler's formula ie critical stress is inversely proportional to length of column. Hence larger the length lesser will be the defined critical stress. Also applicable only for columns having slenderness ratio (l/k) greater than 80.

Crushing means failure occurs due to sudden loads while buckling is lateral deflections caused in long columns.

Euler's formula i.e. critical stress is inversely proportional to length of column. Hence larger the length lesser will be the defined critical stress.
