Question
The figure shows a frame structure subjected to a horizontal load P = 500 lbs at pin C. The pins at B, C, and D apply axial loads to members BD and CD. If the stresses in BD and CD are limited to σ1 = 1200 psi and σ2 = 820 psi respectively, what should be the cross sections of the two members (in inches)?
Note: Draw the Free Body Diagram, include the units/dimensions, use the proper formula and round-off all the answers and final answers to 3 decimal places.
