Tie rod (1) is attached at B and C with double shear pin connections, while the pin at A is attached with a single shear connection. The pins at A, B, and C each have an ultimate shear strength of 57 ksi, and tie rod (1) has a yield strength of 33 ksi. A concentrated load of P = 14 kips is applied to the beam as shown. A factor of safety of 2.4 is required for all components. Determine: (a) the minimum required diameter for tie rod (1). (b) the minimum required diameter for the double shear pins at B and C.
