B
At Two forces are applied to the bracket BCD as shown. (a) Knowing that the
control rod AB is to be made of a steel having an ultimate normal stress of
50 kN 15 kN 600 MPa, determine the diameter of the rod for which the factor of safety with
0.6 m
respect to failure will be 3.3. (b) The pin at C is to be made of a steel having
an ultimate shearing stress of 350 MPa. Determine the diameter of the pin C for
which the factor of safety with respect to shear will also be 3.3. (c) Determine
the required thickness of the bracket supports at C knowing that the allowable
|D bearing stress of the steel used is 300 MPa.

The rigid beam BCD is attached by bolts to a control rod at B, to a
hydraulic
cylinder at C, and to a fixed support at D. The diameters of the bolts used
are:
d =
dp =
10 mm, de =
12 mm. Each bolt acts in double shear
and is made
from a steel for which the ultimate shearing stress is 280 MPa. The con
Tu

steel for which the
ultimate tensile stress is Oy 420 MPa. If the minimum
