Link-2, shown in the figure, is 30 mm wide, has 12 mm diameter bearings at the ends, and is cut from low carbon steel bar having a minimum yield strength of 190 MPa. The end-condition constants for link-2 are C = 1 and C = 1.2 for buckling in and out of the drawing, respectively. Q-1 a) Draw necessary and clear free-body diagrams to determine the reactions at the supports and the load on both member-2 and member-3. b) Determine a suitable thickness for link-2, based on a design factor of safety nD = 4, and considering a material having E = 207 GPa, and a minimum yield strength Sy = 350 MPa. c) Determine the stress and resulting factor of safety for each pin, and state your suggestions in case of design factors less than 4. 500 mm 1.2 kN 900 mm 750 mm

a) Draw necessary and clear free-body diagrams to determine the reactions at
the supports and the load on both member-2 and member-3.
b) Determine a suitable thickness for link-2, based on a design factor of safety
ηD = 4, and considering a material having E = 207 GPa, and a minimum yield
strength Sy = 350 MPa.
c) Determine the stress and resulting factor of safety for each pin, and state your
suggestions in case of design factors less than 4.
