PROBLEM 2: Consider the structure shown in Fig. 2. A square tube with

L=0.5m

is attached to a rigid structure. A force

F=20kN

is applied axially to the tube (through its centroid). Using a design factor of

n_(D)

=3

, which low-carbon steel metric square tube would you purchase from McMaster-Carr ( McMaster.com)? Choose the least expensive option. What is the resulting safety factor? Figure 2: Hexagonal bar rigidly attached to wall HINT: Go to the McMaster website and search for "Low-Carbon Steel Square Tubes". The item number starts with

6527K^(****)

. You need to determine what

^(****)

is (only consider the metric series). Hand in: Dimensions and product # of the hexagonal beam you selected. Include your calculations. Safety factor.
