Okay I tried doing that...but im not sure it is correct. Could you show me some calculations of what you got? And/or show me a diagram?!

I appreciate the help!

jay. i have a question i am doing a problem for allowable compressive stress where

θ = 24,000 psi
A = 11 in ^2

those are given so im tying to find P

θ=P/A = P= Aθ

P= 264,000 lb

but my teacher says the answer is 2181.8 lbs

what am i doing wrong please help my final is next week

Amazing and bewildering !!

That was my unintentional mistake
