In Fig. Q5, member (1) is a steel bar with a cross-sectional area of 1.35 in.² and a yield strength of 50 ksi. Member (2) is a pair of 6061-T6 aluminum bars having a combined cross-sectional area of 3.50 in.² and a yield strength of 40 ksi. A factor of safety of 1.6 for yield is required for both members. Determine the maximum allowable load P that may be applied to the structure. CR (1) (2) B ↓ 65°
