A pole is fixed at the base and is subjected to a linearly varying distributed force with the maximum intensity of q₀ and an axial compressive load P = 20 kips at the top (see figure). The pole has a circular cross-section with an outer diameter of 5 in. and an inner diameter of 4.5 in. Find the normal stresses on the surface of the pole at the base at locations A and B.
