A vertical pin-ended pole being used as a strut carries an axial load. The pole is solid with a diameter of 16 mm and 2 m long between its ends. (a) Determine the maximum load that can be supported (E = 205 GPa)
(b) If the pole has a yield stress of 250 MPa, calculate the maximum central
deflection before the material reaches its yield point.
