A stainless steel block with the dimensions shown in the figure has a density of 8000kg/m³. It is fixed at the top and carries an axial compressive load of 3kN at the bottom. Draw an average normal stress vs height diagram (use the conventional sign convention) for this block and calculate the maximum average normal stress acting in the block. Also, indicate the cross-section at which this stress is acting. Calculate the deflection of free end with respect to the fixed end (clearly indicate the direction)
