The wide-flange pinned-end column shown in the figure carries two loads, a force P1 = 450 kN

Question:

The wide-flange pinned-end column shown in the figure carries two loads, a force P1 = 450 kN acting at the
centroid and a force P2 = 270 kN acting at distance s = 100 mm, from the centroid. The column is a W 250 ( 67 shape with L = 4.2 m, E = 200 GPa, and (Y = 290 MPa.
(a) What is the maximum compressive stress in the column?
(b) If the load P1 remain at 450 kN, what is the largest permissible value of the load P2 in order to maintain a factor of safety of 2.0 with respect to yielding?
