Load Bearing Capacity of HSS Tube
AISC 360, Chapter K of the spec deals with this problem. You could also assume the max moment to be PL/4 (P=2500lbs/4, L=5") and assume the bending capacity of the tube wall to be Fy*Z, where Z=2"*.25^2/4 and Fy=yield strength of tube (usually 46ksi for HSS members). The latter method is a...- FranzR
