Question
**Problem 1**

Each of the four vertical links has an \(8 \times 36\)-mm uniform rectangular cross section and each of the four pins has a 16-mm diameter. Determine the maximum value of the average normal stress in the links connecting (a) points \(B\) and \(D\), (b) points \(C\) and \(E\).

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a mechanical linkage system with vertical links and pins. A 20 kN force is applied vertically at point \(A\). The dimensions indicated are 0.25 m for the vertical height between points \(A\) and \(B\), and 0.4 m for the horizontal distance from point \(B\) to \(C\), with 0.2 m between points \(C\) and \(E\). The links are designed with specific cross-sectional and pin dimensions as stated in the problem. 

The task is to analyze the system for stress at the specified connection points.
