A uniformly tapered vertical cone with a height, h, and a base diameter, d, is cast from a urethane material having a density, . Determine the compressive stress at the cross section of the base, B, and at the cross section, A, half way up the cone, and compare the compressive stress at B with the compressive stress at A. The volume of the cone is Vcone = (1/12) πd2h.
