PROBLEM 1.

Member AB is framed into the 100 x 150 mm


member AC as shown. (a) Determine the force
P if the average shearing stress parallel to the
length and the average bearing stress in the
end of AC is not to exceed 1.5 MPa and 2.5
MPa, respectively. (b) If AC is cut at 60o with
the horizontal midway between A and C,
determine the corresponding normal stress
and shear stress that developed.

PROBLEM 2.
The bars of the truss each have a crosssectional area of A = 3 in2. If the maximum
average normal stress in any bar is not to
exceed 20 ksi, determine the maximum
magnitude of W that can be supported at E.
Note: CD and DE are two separate members
that are pinned to member BD at D.
