Question: A steel post (E = 30 Ã 106 psi) having thickness t = 1/8 in. and height L = 72 in. supports a stop sign

A steel post (E = 30 × 106 psi) having thickness t = 1/8 in. and height L = 72 in. supports a stop sign (see figure: s = 12.5 in.). The height of the post L is measured from the base to the centroid of the sign. The stop sign is subjected to wind pressure p = 20 lb/ft2 normal to its surface. Assume that the post is fixed at its base.
(a) What is the resultant load on the sign? [See Appendix D, Case 25, for properties of an octagon, n = 8].
(b) What is the maximum bending stress σmax in the post?
