Pipe (2) is supported by a pin at bracket C and by tie
rod (1). The structure supports a load P at pin
B. Tie rod (1) has a diameter of 10 mm and an allowable
normal stress of 110 MPa. Pipe (2) has an outside diameter of 54
mm, a wall thickness of 6 mm, and an allowable normal stress of 165
MPa. Assume x1 = 3.6 m, x2
= 1.2 m, and y1 = 3.5 m. Determine the maximum
load Pmax that can be supported by the
structure without exceeding either allowable normal stress.
