A short post constructed from a hollow circular tube of aluminum supports a compressive load of 54 kips. The inner and outer diameters of the tube are d1=3.6 in. and d2=5.0 in., respectively, and its length is 40 in. The shortening of the post due to the load is measured as 0.022 in. Determine the compressive stress and strain in the post. (

Question
A short post constructed from a hollow circular tube of aluminum supports a compressive load of 54 kips. The inner and outer diameters of the tube are d1=3.6 in. and d2=5.0 in., respectively, and its length is 40 in. The shortening of the post due to the load is measured as 0.022 in. Determine the compressive stress and strain in the post. (Disregard the weight of the post itself, and assume that the post does not buckle under the load.)
