Problem 1 of 2
In the structure shown below, an 8 mm diameter pin is used at A, and 12 mm diameter pins are
used at B and D. For an ultimate shear stress of 100 MPa at all connections, and for an ultimate
normal stress of 250 MPa in each of the two links joining B and D, determine the allowable load
P, if an overall factor of safety of 3.0 is required.
