A homogeneous bar AB as shown in Figure 3.3 -3 has a uniform cross - section and weighs 300 N/m. It carries a weight W at point A. The bar is held in horizontal position by a pin at B and a strut CD. 3 m B C 2.5 m 2.5 m Figure 3.3 - 3 Compute the maximum value of W if CD is a square hollow strut of outer dimension 40 mm x 40 mm with a thickness of 5 mm and allowable tensile stress of 42 MPa. Assume the pin at A is safe to carry any value of load W. Select one: O a 7.84 kN O b.9.18 kN O c. 6.24 kN O d. 10.54 kN
