A steel column with a rectangular hollow section is subject to a vertical downward load P1 and a horizontal load P2, as shown in Figure 5 below. If the width of the hollow section is 70mm and the thickness is 5mm, determine the maximum compressive stress at the base of the column. P1=500KN, P2=100KN.
