A steel bar with a cross-sectional area of 6 in² and graded for 36 ksi is fixed to one end and subjected to an axial tensile force of 150 kips. 1) What is the stress in the bar? 2) Using ASD, determine if the cross sectional area of the bar is strong enough for the applied tensile force. (HINT: 2=1.67, the factored grade should be 36/1.67= 21.5 ksi)
