A steel post (E = 30x10° psi) having thickness h = in. and height l = 71 in. supports a stop sign (see the figure: 8 = 12 in.). The height of the post L is measured from the base to the centroid of the sign. The stop sign is subjected to wind pressure p = 24 lb/ ft? normal to its surface. Assume that the post is fixed at its base. STOP Section A-A Circular cutout, d Post, t C1 C2 Stop sign- 14 Wind load

A steel post (E = 30x10® psi) having thickness h = in. and height l= 71 in. supports a stop sign
(see the figure: 8 = 12 in.). The height of the post L is measured from the base to the centroid of the sign.
The stop sign is subjected to wind pressure p = 24 lb/ ft² normal to its surface. Assume that the post is
fixed at its base.

Numerical value of figures: H = 1.5 in., j= in., l1 = l4 = 0.5 in., l2 = l3 = 1.0 in., d = 0.375 in.,
t = 0.125 in., A = 0.578 in.?, c1 = 0.769 in., c2 = 0.731 in., Iy = 0.44867 in.“,
I, = 0.16101 in.*
(a) What is the resultant load on the sign? [ n = 8]. Round your answer to one decimal place.
F =
lb
(b) What is the maximum bending stress omax in the post? Round your answer to one decimal place.
Omax =
ksi
(C) Repeat part (b) if the circular cutouts are eliminated over the height of the post.
Omax =
ksi
