8.63 The tee shape shown in Fig. P8.63b is used as a post that supports a load of  P , which is applied 400
mm from the flange of the tee shape, as shown in Fig. P8.63a. The tension and compression normal
stresses in the post must be limited to 165 MPa and 80 MPa, respectively. Determine the maximum
