Question

Each vertical steel column of an office building supports a weight of 1.30 x 10^5 N and is compressed to 5.90 x 10^-3

A) Find the compression in each column if a wegith of 5.50 x 10^5 N is supported.

B)If the compression of each steel column is 0.0710 cm, what wight is supported by each column?
bobpursley
compression=force*k
k= compression /force
find k from the given.
a) using k, find compression for that force.
b) find force, given k and compression
