A solid pole, 3 m. high and 250 mm in diameter is fixed at the base. It is subjected to a compressive force of 3 kN acting at an eccentricity of 100 mm from its centroidal axis and a lateral load of 0.45 kN applied at the top. What is the max. compressive stress at the base of the pole? Unit weight of pole is 22 kN/m^3.
