The boom AC is a 4-in. square steel tube with a wall thickness of 0.25 in. The boom is supported by the 0.67-in .-diameter pin at A, and the 0.26-in .-diameter cable BC. Neglecting the weight of the boom, determine the shear stress in the pin (in psi) if P = 5411 lb. Round off the final answer to two decimal places.

Q: A weight is suspended from two wires. One wire is steel and the other aluminium. The elastic modulus…

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.
