Equation of equilibrium

+Fx = 0, FBC(4/5) – FBAcos60o = 0

+Fy = 0, FBC(3/5)+ FBAsin60o – W = 0

The 2 equations yield

FBA = 632.4 N
FBC = 395.2 N

By Newton’s third law of action, equal but

opposite reaction, these forces subject the
rods to tension throughout their length.

ABA ABC

ABA = ¼  (10)2 mm2 = 78.54 mm2

ABC = ¼  (8)2 mm2 = 50.26 mm2

Substituting the appropriate values,

we have
sBA = 8.05 N/mm2 = 8.05 MPa

sBC = 7.863 N/mm2 = 7.863 MPa

The greater normal stress is in rod BA.
