QUESTION:

Link AB is to be made of a steel for which the ultimate normal stress is 65 ksi. Determine the cross-sectional area of AB for which the factor of safety will be 3.20. Assume that the link will be adequately reinforced around the pins at A and B.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

We have to find the cross sectional area of member AB, for which factor of safety is given. We first need to compute the axial forces acting in member AB, then using the permissible tensile stress, we will calculate the required cross sectional area.
