Question: A rectangular road sign is supported on a hollow post as shown. The weight of the sign is 6 . 7 kN . The face

A rectangular road sign is supported on a hollow post as shown. The weight of the sign is 6.7 kN . The face of the sign is subjected to a uniform wind force of 500Nm2. A cross-section of the post at 1.2 m below the bottom of the sign (P) is shown. Identify all the different loads and their corresponding resulting stresses into the pole at point A located at P.
Use the standard formulas below
(a) determine the combined state of stress (for point A)
(b) show the stress state on unit 3-d cell element (for point A)
(c) show the stress tensor (for point A)
Neglect any shear due to transverse load.
