Two pieces of high-density polyethylene [E = 0.87 GPa] tubing are bonded together and support load P = 140 N. Both tubes are 150 mm long. The outer tube has an outsider diameter of 21.0 mm and an inside diameter of 15.2 mm. The inner tube has an outside diameter of 15.2 mm and an inside diameter of 11.4 mm. Determine the load carried by the outer tube.
