This document contains two engineering problems involving structural analysis. The first problem involves determining the maximum permitted length L of an aluminum alloy shaft with a diameter of 100mm that is fixed at one end and free at the other, if it is subjected to an eccentric force P of 80kN. The second problem involves determining the maximum axial force P that can be applied to a steel structural column that is fixed at the top and bottom and subjected to a bending moment of 23 kip-ft, using an interaction formula with (sb) = 24 ksi.
