Determine what is the maximum mass of the statue

Reference no: EM13550629

A veterans' group wishes to honor General MacArthur by putting a statue of him on a pedestal of Douglas fir. The pedestal is one meter high and has a diameter of 30 cm.

A) If the stature has a mass of 1.0 x 10^4 kg, by how much is the pedestal compressed?

B) What is the maximum mass of the statue before the pedestal suffers a compressive failure?

C) Is there another method of failure besides compressive failure that the designer of the statue/pedestal should consider?
