2. Consider the system as shown

Pmax

PC

Fy = 0;
PA Pmax + PC = 0

[1]

MA = 0;
-Pmax(1) + 2.4PC = 0

[2]

Consider A:
A = PA/AA
PA = 10 MPa (1200 mm2)
PA = 12 kN
Consider C:
a. Det x:
PA

PC max = PC/ 2AC

PC = 2AC max

PC = 2(20000 mm2)
(7.5 MPa)
PC = 300 kN

PC

Fy = 0;
PA 10 + PC = 0

[1]

MA = 0;
-10x + 2.4PC = 0

[2]

a-a = A
Post C:
PC

a-a = (PC/AC)cos230
So:
(PC/AC)cos230 =
PA/1200 mm2
0.045 PC = PA [3]

30
Combining [1], [2], & [3]:
PA = 0.43kN; PC = 9.57kN; x= 2.3 m

Substituting PA and PC, we will not

satisfy equilibrium eqn.
So: if PA governs: PA = 12 kN
2 eqns; 2 unknowns in [1] & [2];
We get Pmax = 20.57 kN and
PC = 8.57 kN
If PC governs: PC = 300 kN
Substitute in [2]
Pmax = 720 kN
Therefore: Pmax = 20.57 kN

Fx = 0;
-FBAcos50 + FBCcos30 = 0 [1]
Fy = 0;
FBAsin50 + FBCsin30 = P

[2]

Case#1: FBA governs

FBA = (320 MPa/3)(/4)(0.025)2
FBA = 52.36 kN
Using [1]: FBC = 38.86 kN
Using [2]: P = 59.54 kN
Case#2: FBC governs
FBC = (330 MPa/3.5)(0.02)2
FBC = 37.71 kN
Using [1]: FBA = 50.81 kN
Using [2]: P = 57.78 kN
Therefore: Pmax = 57.78 kN
When Pmax is applied, determine:
a. Angle (0 45) if a-a is 69.46
MPa.

a-a = (P/A)cossin
a-a = 50.81 kN/ ((/4)(0.0252))
