A horizontal load P is applied to an assembly consisting of two
inclined bars, as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of bar
(1) is 1.30 in.?, and the cross-sectional area of bar (2) is 1.75 in.?. The
normal stress in either bar may not exceed 24 ksi. Determine the
maximum load P that may be applied to this assembly. Assume
dimensions of a = 14.5 ft, b = 9.0 ft, and c = 14.5 ft.
