(d) Using the member with the worst loading condition of the forces calculated in the 5 members
from (b) and (c) above. With a FS=3, calculate the required cross-section dimensions for a
rectangular custom ASTM A36 steel member to the nearest 1/16 inch if the height is twice the width.
(e) Specify a standard member size (i.e. 2x4, 2x6, 2x8, 2x 10, etc with a FS=4. Calculate the area of
the std sizes using the planed sizes: ie. 2X4 1.5X3.5ete.) made from D.Fir. Since you round up to
the next higher standard size, what is the FS using this standard member?
