Chapter 13 Problem 13-3

Question

The aircraft link is made from an A992 steel rod. Determine the smallest diameter of the rod, to the nearest \(\frac{1}{16} \text { in }\)., that will support the load of 4 kip without buckling. The ends are pin connected.

Solution

Step 1 of 3

Given data:

Critical supporting load, \(\mathrm{P}_{\sigma}=4\ \mathrm{kip}\)

Length of the rod, L = 18 in

Taking modulus of elasticity for A-36 from tables, \(E=29 \times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{ksi}\)
