Page 1 of 54. In the structure shown, an 8-
mm-diameter pin is used at A
and 12-mm-diameter pins are
used at B and D. The ultimate
shearing stress is 100 MPa at
all connections, and the ultimate
normal stress is 250 MPa in
each of the two links joining B
and D. Knowing that an overall
factor of safety of 3.0 is desired,
determine the allowable load P
that can be applied at C (Show
all calculations and
diagrams).

x 10° PF).Determine the largest allowable increase in temperature if the stress in
the steel core is not to exceed 8 ksi (Show all calculations and diagrams).
