Two pieces of high-density polyethylene [E = 0.94 GPa] tubing are fitted together and firmly clamped at their ends. A load of 107 N is applied to the fitting. Tube (1) is 140 mm long, and tube (2) is 100 mm long. Both tubes have an outsider diameter of 23.0 mm and an inside diameter of 18.4 mm. Determine the load carried by tube (2).
