If a load of P = 14 kN is applied to rod (2), determine the magnitude of the resultant force at C. Let a = 0.50 m and b = 0.82 m.

An upward load is applied to a square rod that has a width of 10.48 mm. The rod is connected to the ground using a pin that has a diameter of 9.18 mm. If the normal stress in the rod is limited to 150 MPa and the average shear stress in the pin is limited to 155 MPa, determine the maximum load that can be applied to this connection.

An upward load is applied to a square rod that has a width of 10.83 mm. The rod is connected to the ground using a pin that has a diameter of 9.36 mm.
