Problem 1 Problem 2
The 1000-kg uniform bar AB is suspended Determine the smallest allowable cross-
from two cables AC and BD; each with cross- sectional areas of members CE, BE, and EF for
sectional area 400 mm2. Find the magnitude P the truss shown. The working stresses are 20
and location x of the largest additional vertical ksi in tension and 14 ksi in compression. (The
force that can be applied to the bar. The working stress in compression is smaller to
stresses in AC and BD are limited to 100 MPa reduce the danger of buckling.)
and 50 MPa, respectively.

Answer: Answer:
P = 50.19 kN ACE = 2.14 in2
x = 0.602 mm ABE = 1.25 in2
AEF = 5.36 in2

The figure shows a glued joint, known as a The bracket is supported by 1/2-in.-diameter
finger joint, in a 6-in. by 3/4-in. piece of pins at A and B (the pin at B fits in the 45⁰ slot
lumber. Find the normal and shear stresses in the bracket). Neglecting friction, determine
acting on the surface of the joint. the shear stresses in the pins, assuming single
shear.
