Question: A short column with a wide - flange shape is subjected to a compressive load that produces a resultant force P = 3 3 .

A short column with a wide-flange shape is subjected to a compressive load that produces a resultant force P=33.4kN acting at the midpoint of one flange (see figure).
(a) Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses \sigma _(t) and \sigma _(C^(')) respectively, in the column. (Enter your answers in MPa. Use the deformation sign convention.)
\sigma _(t)=
MPa
\sigma _(c)=
MPa y, in mm , on which this axis lies.mm
(c) Recompute maximum tensile and compressive stresses if a 120mm\times 10mm cover plate is added to one flange as shown. (Enter your answers in MPa. Use the deformation sign convention.)
\sigma _(t)=MPa
\sigma _(c)=MPa
A short column with a wide - flange shape is
