A short rectangular post supports a compressive load of P = 44 kN. A top view of the post showing the location where load P is applied to the top of the post is shown. The cross-sectional dimensions of the post are b = 250 mm and d = 167 mm. The load P is applied at offset distances of yp = 63 mm and zp= 56 mm from the centroid of the post. Determine the normal stresses at corners A, B, C, and D of the post.
