Transcribed Image Text:A horizontal load Pis applied to an assembly consisting of two inclined bars, as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of
bar (1) is 1.35 in.", and the cross-sectional area of bar (2) is 1.85 in.². The normal stress in either bar may not exceed 24 ksi.
Determine the maximum load P that may be applied to this assembly. Assume dimensions of a =
c = 11.0 ft.

Transcribed Image Text:Incorrect. If F2.A exceeds F2.allow, then the force in member (2) will control the capacity of the two-bar assembly,
and the Load Case B assumption should be used. Otherwise, F1.B Exceeds F1.allow, the force in member (1) will
control the capacity of the two-bar assembly, and the Load Case A assumption should be used.
Enter the forces in the members corresponding to the correct maximum load case assumption, Load Case A or Load Case B.
