Calculation The equation for the sum of forces in the horizontal direction is: F1 cos(25.000) + F2 cos(160.000) + Load cos(270.

.000) = 0 F1(0.9063) + F2(-0.9397) + (220.0 lb) (0.0000) = 0 The equation for the sum of forces in the vertical direction is: F1 sin(25.000) + F2 sin(160.000) + Load sin(270.000) = 0 F1(0.4226) + F2(0.3420) + (220.0 lb) (-1.0000) = 0 Solve these two equilibrium equations simultaneously to compute F1 and F2. The force in Bar 1 is 292.4 lb, and the force in Bar 2 is 282.0 lb. Both bars act in tension. To compute the normal stress, divide the bar force by the cross-sectional area of the bar. For Bar 1, the normal stress is: 292.4 lb 0.04900 in = 5,966.6 psi The normal stress in Bar 2 is: 282.0 lb 0.04900 in = 5,754.6 psi

Calculation: Fx = -F1 - 30.000 kN + 10.000 kN = 0 Solve the equilibrium equation to find an internal force in Segment (1) of F 1 = 20.000 kN (compression). To find the internal axial force in Segment (2), draw a free-body diagram that cuts through Segment (2) and includes the free end of the axial structure (i.e., Joint C). Click button [2] to see free-body diagram. We will assume that the internal force F2 in Segment (2) creates tension. In the x direction, the force equilibrium equation for Segment (2) is: Fx = -F2 + 10.000 kN = 0 Solve the equilibrium equation to find an internal force in Segment (2) of F 2 = 10.000 kN (tension). Normal Stress Calculations Compute the normal stress in each segment by dividing the internal force by the cross-sectional area. Segment (1) For Segment (1), the diameter is 20.0 mm; therefore, the cross-sectional area is 314.2 mm. The normal stress for Segment (1) is 1 = F1/A1 = -20.000 kN 314.2 mm = -63.662 MPa (compression)
