PROBLEM SET NO.

1. A hollow steel tube with an inside diameter of 80 mm must carry an axial tensile load of 330 kN. Determine
the smallest allowable outside diameter of the tube if the working stress is 110 MN/m2.
2. The cross-sectional area of bar ABCD is 600 mm2. Determine the maximum normal stress in the bar.

3. The wood pole is supported by two cables of 1=4-in.


diameter. The turnbuckles in the cables are tightened
until the stress in the cables reaches 60 000 psi. If the
working compressive stress for wood is 200 psi, determine
the smallest permissible diameter of the pole.

4. The 1200-lb uniform plate ABCD can rotate freely about


the hinge AB. The plate is supported by the cables DE and
CE. If the working stress in the cables is 18 000 psi,
determine the smallest safe diameter of the cables.

5. The homogeneous 6000-lb bar ABC is supported by a pin


at C and a cable that runs from A to B around the
frictionless pulley at D. Find the stress in the cable if its
diameter is 0.6 in.

6. The cross-sectional area of each member of the truss is 1.8


in.2. Calculate the stresses in all members. Indicate tension
or compression.

7. The 1000-kg uniform bar AB is suspended from two cables


AC and BD; each with cross-sectional area 400 mm2. Find
the magnitude P and location x of the largest additional
vertical force that can be applied to the bar. The stresses
in AC and BD are limited to 100 MPa and 50 MPa,
respectively.

8. The homogeneous bar AB weighing 1800 lb is supported


at either end by a steel cable. Calculate the smallest safe
area of each cable if the working stress is 18 000 psi for
steel.
