Question

The rigid beam is supported by the three suspender bars. Bars AB and EF are made of aluminum and bar CD is made of steel. If each bar has a cross-sectional area of \(450\mathrm{\ mm}^2\), determine the maximum value of P if the allowable stress is \(\left(\sigma_{\text {allow }}\right)_{\mathrm{st}}=200\ \mathrm{MPa}\) for the steel and \(\left(\sigma_{\text {allow }}\right)_{\mathrm{al}}=150\ \mathrm{MPa}\) for the aluminum. \(E_{\mathrm{st}}=200\ \mathrm{GPa}, E_{\mathrm{al}}=70\ \mathrm{GPa}\).
