Problem C-1

Refer to Fig. Probs. 8-42/43, page 431 in the text.  In addition to the wind pressure load, consider the weight of the sign, Ws = 1.50 kN, and the weight of the post, wp = 0.4 kN/m.  Assume the post diameter is 100 mm, as given in the text.

a) Obtain the normal stress at points A, B, C, and D.  Indicate if tensile or compressive.

b) Obtain the shear stress at points A, B, C, and D, and show it as it acts on a cross section seen from the top.
