The piston rod of an air operated press has a length of 2500 mm, with its right-hand end pin connected to the operating lever and the piston end of the rod fix ended. The rod is made of a material whose Sy = 250 MPa and E = 200 GPa. For a factor of safety of 3.5, determine the maximum safe compressive load of the rod in Newtons if its diameter is 47.5 mm.    Round your answer to 4 significant figures.
