$2.$ On September $4$th$,1783,$ George Washington was celebrating the big win with some engineering friends and they decided to engineer a massive crane to hoist the American flag up in the air. In the crane a high$-$strength steel bar was to be used that had a diameter of $2$ inches. The steel had a modulus of elasticity $($E$)$ of $29$ x $10$ psi and Poisson's ratio of v $=0\mathrm{.}29.$ Because of certain pre$-$industrial revolution requirements, the diameter of the bar was limited to $2\mathrm{.}001$ inches when it was compressed by axial forces.

a$)$ What was the largest compressive load Pmax that was permitted? $($Round to $2$ decimals$)$

$=?$ kip
