Write a force equilibrium equation for the sum of forces in the horizontal
direction. For the specified configuration, the force equilibrium equation
is:
Fx
= -FBC cos(53.130) + Ax = 0
= -P + FBC sin(53.130) + Ay = 0
= -(1.325 kip) + FBC(0.8000) + Ay = 0
= d2 / 4
= (0.3750 in)2 / 4
= 0.1104 in
= |FC| / AC
= 2.760 kip 0.1104 in
= 24.993 ksi
= FBC / ABC
= 2.760 kip 0.1250 in
= 22.083 ksi (tension)
