The short column shown in Fig. P$9\mathrm{.}4$ will be subjected to an eccentric load causing uniaxial bending about the $Y$ axis. Material strengths are $f_y=60$ksi and

$($a$)$ Construct the nominal strength interaction curve for this column, calculating no fewer than five points, including those corresponding to pure bending, pure axial thrust, and balanced failure.

$($b$)$ Compare the calculated values with those obtained using Graph A$.10$ in Appendix A$.$The short column shown in Fig. P$9\mathrm{.}4$ will be subjected to an eccentric load causing uniaxial bending about the $Y$ axis. Material strengths are $f_y=60$ksi and
