The railcar docklight is supported by the 1 8-in.-diameter pin at A. If the lamp weighs 4 lb, and the extension arm AB has a weight of 0.5 lb>ft, determine the average shear stress in the pin needed to support the lamp. Hint: The shear force in the pin is caused by the couple moment required for equilibrium at A.
