Chapter 2, Problem 2.13(choose chapter or problem)
Rod BD is made of steel \(\left(E=29 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{psi}\right)\) and is used to brace the axially compressed member ABC. The maximum force that can be developed in member BD is 0.02P. If the stress must not exceed 18 ksi and the maximum change in length of BD must not exceed 0.001 times the length of ABC, determine the smallest-diameter rod that can be used for member BD.
