A short column constructed of a W 12 x 35 wide-flange shape is subjected to a resultant compressive load P = 12k having its line of action at the midpoint of one flange (see figure).
(a) Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses σt and σc, respectively, in the column.
(b) Locate the neutral axis under this loading condition.
(c) Re-compute maximum tensile and compressive stresses if a C 10 x 15.3 is attached to one flange, as shown.
