Homework Statement

The attempt at a solution
For part (a), I can only find a normal compressive stress. It is as follows:
[tex]\sigma_{c} = \frac{F}{A}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{c} = \frac{100*9.81}{\pi(0.013)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{c} = 1847704 Pa[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{c} = 1.848 MPa[/tex]
Is this correct? How do I find the normal tensile stress?
