Question
In the structure shown below (Figure 3), two forces of equal magnitude (P) are applied along the
horizonal and vertical directions at point C. The beams are connected by pins at A, B and D.
The pins A, B and D have diameters of 8 mm, 12 mm, and 14 mm, respectively. The failure
stress for all the pins is Tfail=120 MPa and the failure stress for the bars between B-D
is o fail =300 MPa. Assume that the beam ABC does not fail. Find the value of P such
that the factor of safety (F.S.) for this structure equals 3.
