The structure shown in the figure below consists of steel members connected via pins and is subjected to a point load, P. All the pins have a diameter of 7/8 in and are subjected to single shear. The failure shear stress in the pins is equal to 45 ksi and the failure normal stress in the links EB and CD is equal to 90 ksi. If the maximum allowable load that can be carried by the structure is equal to P = 10 kips determine the safety factor for each component. Is the structure in danger of failing? Note: member CBA can be assumed to be a beam and does not need to be checked.

Question
The structure shown in the figure below consists of steel members connected via pins and is subjected
to a point load, P. All the pins have a diameter of 7/8 in and are subjected to single shear. The failure
shear stress in the pins is equal to 45 ksi and the failure normal stress in the links EB and CD is equal
to 90 ksi. If the maximum allowable load that can be carried by the structure is equal to P = 10 kips
determine the safety factor for each component. Is the structure in danger of failing? Note: member
CBA can be assumed to be a beam and does not need to be checked.
