For the loading arrangement shown, the crate has a weight of 600 lb. The design requirements states that the maximum normal stress (tensile) developed on the cross section a-a should be limited to 13.9 ksi. Determine the maximum value the offset distance "x" to meet this requirement. Develop an appropriate free body diagram and determine the location of the neutral axis for section a-a.

Axial Load

When a bar of the uniform cross-section is acted by a load, such that the load acts along the longitudinal axis of the bar, such kinds of loadings are known as axial loadings. In general terms, a load is an external force acting on a component. An axial load acts perpendicular to the geometric cross-section of the component. Based on the direction of the application of the load, an axial load can be tensile or compressive. The analysis of bodies under the action of axial loads is generally studied under the branch of mechanics, known as statics.
