A short post constructed from a hollow circular tube of aluminum supports a compressive load of 250 kN (see figure). The inner and outer diameters of the tube are d1 = 9cm and d2 = 13cm, respectively, and its length is 100 cm. The shortening of the post due to the load is measured as 0.5 mm. Determine the compressive stress. (Disregard the weight of the post itself, and assume that the post does not buckle under the load)
