1. Determine the magnitude ( 𝑖𝑛 𝒌𝑵 ) and
direction (tension or compression) for the in
members 𝑨𝑩 and 𝑩𝑪 in 𝒌𝑵 under the
actions of the horizontal and vertical 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 −
𝒍𝒃 forces shown in the figure. 𝑨𝑩 is at an
angle 𝜽 and 𝑩𝑪 is at an angle 𝜷 with the
horizontal.
2. The forces in members 𝑨𝑩 and 𝑩𝑪 are
𝟎. 𝟖𝟖𝟗𝟖 𝒌𝑵 and 𝟔. 𝟐𝟐𝟖𝟔 𝒌𝑵 and both of
these forces are in compression. What are
the forces under the actions of the horizontal
and vertical components at point 𝑩 (𝑖𝑛 𝒍𝒃𝒇 ).
Determine also the angles 𝜽 and 𝜷
(𝑖𝑛 𝒅𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔) where 𝑨𝑩 is at an angle 𝜽
and 𝑩𝑪 is at an angle 𝜷 with the respect to
the horizontal. 𝑨𝑩𝑪 has a perpendicular
angle.

3. A steel bar carrying a 𝟔𝟕𝟒. 𝟑𝟎𝟖𝟖 𝒌𝒊𝒑𝒔
load, 𝑭 , is attached to a support by a
rectangular pin with a known cross-sectional
dimension of 𝒘 = 𝟏𝟔. 𝟖𝟓𝟓𝟗 𝒊𝒏. What is the
unknown cross-sectional dimension,
𝒍 (𝑖𝑛 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔) , if the normal stress is
𝟗. 𝟔𝟖𝟕𝟎𝟑 𝒌𝒔𝒊 and the shearing stress is
𝟑. 𝟎𝟕𝟖𝟔𝟗 𝒌𝒔𝒊
4. A steel bar with an ultimate strength of
𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟎 𝑴𝑷𝒂 is carrying a 𝟑𝟎𝟓. 𝟖𝟏𝟎𝟒 −
𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄 𝒕𝒐𝒏 load, 𝑭 . It is attached to a
support by a round pin with a radius of
𝟓. 𝟗𝟎𝟓𝟓 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔 . What is most nearly the
average shear stress in the pin (𝑖𝑛 𝒌𝑷𝒂)?

5. The lap joint shown is fastened by four
𝟑⁄ − 𝒊𝒏. – diameter rivets. Calculate the
𝟒 𝑵
load 𝑷 that can be applied if the shearing
stress in the rivets is limited to 𝟏𝟒 𝒌𝒔𝒊 and
the bearing stress in the plates is limited to
𝟏𝟖 𝒌𝒔𝒊 and determine the maximum safe
load (𝑖𝑛 𝒍𝒃𝒇 ). Assume the applied load is
uniformly distributed among the four rivets.
6. The lap joint shown is fastened by four
𝟏. 𝟗𝟎𝟓 − 𝒄𝒎 – diameter rivets. Calculate the
shearing stress (𝑖𝑛 𝒎𝒎𝟐 ) in the rivets and
𝑵
the bearing stress (𝑖𝑛 𝒎𝒎𝟐 ) in the plates
with a maximum safe load 𝑷 which is
𝟐𝟒. 𝟕𝟒 𝒌𝒊𝒑𝒔 . Determine also the largest
average tensile stress in the plates
𝑵
(𝑖𝑛 𝒎𝒎𝟐 ) when the stress is applied at the
center. Assume the applied load is uniformly
distributed among the four rivets.
