Question
**Problem Description:**

The sign is supported by a hollow structural tube with an outer diameter of 15 inches and a wall thickness of 0.5 inches. Given the weight and the design wind load, both acting at the center of the sign, determine the state of stress at points \( A \) and \( B \).

**Instructions:**

- Write each state of stress in the form of a tensor, observing the \( x-y-z \) coordinate system shown.
- Sketch the stresses acting on a differential element at each point.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The 3D diagram illustrates a sign positioned horizontally at the top of a vertical structural tube. The sign's center experiences two loads:

1. **Vertical Load:** 3 kips acting downward at the center of the sign.
2. **Horizontal Load:** 3 kips acting horizontally at the center, simulating wind pressure.

The tube's base is mounted on a fixed support on the ground. The coordinate system is aligned such that:

- The \( x \)-axis is horizontal, aligned with the direction of the horizontal wind load.
- The \( y \)-axis is horizontal and perpendicular to the wind load (depth direction).
- The \( z \)-axis is vertical, aligned with the direction of gravitational pull and vertical load.

**Dimensions:**

- **Height of Tube:** 8 feet
- **Distance from Tube to Edge of Sign (on x-axis):** 9 feet
- **Distance from Tube to Edge of Sign (on y-axis):** 3 feet

Given this setup, the stresses at points \( A \) and \( B \) need to be calculated. Each point pertains to specific locations on the tube and sign where the stress will be analyzed and drawn as a tensor.
