Problem-2A vertical post AB is embedded in a concrete foundation andheld at the top by two cables (see figure). The post is a hollowsteel tube with modulus of elasticity 200 GPa, outer diameter40 mm, and thickness 5 mm. The cables are tightened equallyby turnbuckles. If a factor of safety of 3.0 against Eulerbuckling in the plane of the figure is desired, what is themaximum allowable tensile force Tallow in the cables?

Problem-3The hoisting arrangement for lifting a large pipe is shownin the figure. The spreader is a steel tubular section withouter diameter 70 mm and inner diameter 57 mm. Itslength is 2.6 m and its modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa.Based upon a factor of safety of 2.25 with respect to Eulerbuckling of the spreader, what is the maximum weight ofpipe that can be lifted? (Assume pinned conditions at theends of the spreader.)

Problem-4The structural steel [E= 29,000 ksi] column shown in Figure is fixedat its base and free at its upper end. At the top of the column, a loadP= 35 kips is applied to the stiffened seat support at an eccentricityofe= 7 in. from the centroidal axis of the wide-flange shape.Determine:a)The maximum stress produced in the column.b)The lateral deflection of the column at its upper end.
