An aluminum pole for a street light weighs4600 N and supports an arm that weighs 660 N (seefigure). The center of gravity of the arm is 1.2 m from theaxis of the pole. A wind force of 300 N also acts in the (-y)direction at 9 m above the base. The outside diameter ofthe pole (at its base) is 225 mm, and its thickness is 18 mm.
Determine the maximum tensile and compressivestresses σtand σc, respectively, in the pole (at its base)due to the weights and the wind force.
