Two pieces of high-density polyethylene tubing are fitted together and firmly clamped at their ends. A load of 174 N is applied to the fitting. Tube (1) is 160 mm long, and tube (2) is 110 mm long. Both tubes have an outsider diameter of 21.0 mm and an inside diameter of 15.6 mm. Determine the load carried by tube (2).
