7 6. A column of height 1m has to support a bronze statue of mass 200 kg. The column breaks if stressed beyond 8 × 105 Pa. a) If the column has a diameter of 30 cm, will it be strong enough to support the statue? Show your calculation. b) If the Young Modulus of the material of the column is 5 x 109 Pa, determine the compression of the column when supporting the statue.
