A short column constructed of a 254 x 254 x107 kg UC section (use the table below) is subjected to a compressive load P = 130 kN that has its line of action at one of the outside corners of the cross section (see figure). Determine the equation of the neutral axis under these loading conditions and Find the maximum tensile and compressive stresses σt and σc respectively, in the column.
