A simplified model of a basketball hoop is shown. During a basket dunk a player hangs from the rim applying a force of 320 lbs including a dynamic load factor. The stand is a square tube with 5 inches outside length and 0.25 inches thickness. The distance from the edge of the rim to the middle of the square tube is 4 ft. Assuming the model is rigid, the normal stress at point A is most closely equal to:

The rectangular bar shown is connected to a support bracket with a 24 mm diameter pin. The width of the rectangular bar is 80 mm and its thickness is 25 mm. The bearing stress in the bar cannot exceed 120 MPa. Determine the maximum value of Pmax that can be supported based solely on consideration of the bearing stress in the bar. Note: This question is not asking about any stresses in the support bracket.just bearing stress in the rectangular bar. Rectangular bar Support bracket
The figure shows a flat hanger bar for supporting shop equipment in a factory. The bar is fixed to a support by means of a bolted connection. The main part of the hanging bar is 1.5 inches wide. This width varies up to 3.0 inches. A 1.0-inch diameter bolt transfers the hanger bar load to the two top bracket plates. Determine the allowable stress of the tension load P in the hanger in the following two instances: to. The allowable tensile stress in the main part of the hanger is 16,000 psi. b. The allowable stress load between the hanger bar and the bolt is 26,000 lb/pu.
The block of weight W in the figure below hangs from the pin at A. The bars AB and AC are pinned to the support at B and C. The areas are 800 mm2 for AB and 400 mm2 for AC.
