Hello everyone, in two weeks I have the machine construction exam and in doing the exercises on the book I came across the sizing of a swivel arm crane. I have calculated all the various binding reactions on the column plate flanged to the ground and on the arm loaded by a p. weight so far no problem. the text asks me among other things to dimensional the column by speculating circular (so a tube) with half length a hole d=30mm for the passage of the electric cables. I have assumed as a model that of a perforated plate whose width is equal to the diameter of the column tube (I hypotize it and then do safety checks) and x thickness (ipotized also this from me). This slab I thought and seen that it is subject to flender moment. Here comes the doubt: I'm gonna hire him on the plate plane or agent outside the floor? I tried to do some sketches and the plan on which the normal force acts depends on the view you choose to represent the crane. So I don't really know how to behave. 
Thank you.
Thank you.
