Two links are connected by a single pin and a tensile force F is applied. The links and the pin are made from Aluminum(sigma_y = 35ksi and T_y = 20ksi). The dimension of the link is 5 inch high by 0.5 inch thick. Find the optimal diameter for the pin and the maximum force,F that can be applied to the linkage before incuring permanent deformation.
