Two steel [E = 30,000 ksi] pipes (1) and (2) are connected at flange B, as shown in Figure P5.31. Pipe (1) has an outside diameter of 6.625 in. and a wall thickness of 0.28 in. Pipe (2) has an outside diameter of 4.00 in. and a wall thickness of 0.226 in. If the normal stress in each steel pipe must be limited to 18 ksi, determine

(a) the maximum downward load P that may be applied at flange B.

(b) the deflection of flange B at the load that you determined in part (a).
