Two pieces of high-density polyethylene tubing are fitted together and firmly clamped at their ends. A load of 107 N is applied to the fitting. Tube (1) is 155 mm long, and tube (2) is 110 mm long. Both tubes have an outsider diameter of 21.0 mm and an inside diameter of 16.0 mm. Determine the load carried by tube (2).

A short column is composed of two steel segments, each with a length of 4.9 in. Segment (1) is hollow with an outside diameter of 1.30 in. and a wall thickness of 0.16 in. Segment (2) is hollow with an outside diameter of 1.62 in. and a wall thickness of 0.16 in. How much shorter does the column become after a load of P = 870 lb is applied?
