Before beginning the process of determining the internal forces in the axial members, the geometry of the truss will be used to determine the magnitude of the inclination angles of members AC and BC. Use the definition of the tangent function to determine AC and BC:
Joint A:
Begin the solution process by considering a FBD of joint A. Consider only those forces acting directly on joint A. In this instance, two axial members, AB and AC, are connected at joint A. Additionally, two reaction forces, Ax and Ay, act at joint A. Tension forces will be
assumed in each truss member. cos(19.573 ) 0 x x AC F A F (a) sin(19.573 ) 0 y y AC AB F A F F (b)
Solve Eq. (a) for FAC:
34.821 kN cos(19.573 ) cos(19.573 ) 36.957 kN x AC A F
and then compute FAB using Eq. (b):
sin(19.573 ) (30.000 kN) (36.957 kN)sin(19.573 ) 17.619 kN AB y AC F A F Joint B:
Next, consider a FBD of joint B. In this instance, the equilibrium equations associated with joint B seem easier to solve than those that would pertain to joint C. As before, tension forces will be assumed in each truss member.

Solve Eq. (c) for FBC:

Eq. (d) can be used as a check on our calculations: sin(41.634 ) ( 26.520 kN)sin(41.634 ) (17.619 kN) 0 y BC AB F F F Checks! Section properties:

concentrated force of P = 9 kN at B. Determine the magnitude of the maximum normal stress in the bar and its location x. Assume a = 0.5 m, b = 0.7 m, c = 15 mm, and d = 40 mm.

P1.15 The solid 1.25-in.-diameter rod shown in
Figure P1.15 is subjected to a uniform axial
distributed loading along its length of w = 750 lb/ft. Two concentrated loads also act on the rod: P = 2,000 lb and Q = 1,000 lb. Assume a = 16 in. and b = 32 in. Determine the normal stress in the rod at the following locations:

P1.16 Two 6 in. wide wooden boards are
to be joined by splice plates that will be fully glued on the contact surfaces. The glue to be used can safely provide a shear strength of 120 psi. Determine the smallest allowable length L that can be used for the splice plates for an applied load of P = 10,000 lb. Note that a gap of 0.5 in. is
required between boards (1) and (2). FIGURE P1.16 Solution
Consider a FBD of board (2). The glue on the splice plates provides resistance to the 10,000 lb applied load on both the top and bottom surfaces of board (2). Denoting the shear resistance on a glue surface as V, equilibrium in the horizontal direction requires
0 10,000 lb 5,000 lb 2 x F P V V V
In other words, each glue surface must be large enough so that 5,000 lb of shear resistance can be provided to board (2). Since the glue has a shear strength of 120 psi, the area of each glue surface on board (2) must be at least
2 min 5,000 lb 41.6667 in. 120 psi A
The boards are 6-in. wide; therefore, glue must be spread along board (2) for a length of at least 2 glue joint 41.6667 in. 6.9444 in. 6 in. L
Although we’ve discussed only board (2), the same rationale applies to board (1). For both boards (1) and (2), the glue must be applied along a length of at least 6.9444 in. on both the top and bottom of the boards in order to resist the 10,000 lb applied load.
The glue applied to boards (1) and (2) must be matched by glue applied to the splice plates. Therefore, the splice plates must be at least 6.9444 in. + 6.9444 in. = 13.8889 in. long. However, we are told that a 0.5-in. gap is required between boards (1) and (2); therefore, the splice plates must be 0.5-in. longer. Altogether, the length of the splice plates must be at least
min 6.9444 in. 6.9444 in. 0.5 in. 14.39 in.
P1.17 For the clevis connection shown in Figure
P1.17, determine the maximum applied load P that can be supported by the 10-mm-diameter pin if the average shear stress in the pin must not exceed 95 MPa.
FIGURE P1.17 Solution
Consider a FBD of the bar that is connected by the clevis, including a portion of the pin. If the shear force acting on each exposed surface of the pin is denoted by V, then the shear force on each pin surface is related to the load P by:

P1.39 Specifications for the 50 mm × 50 mm square bar
shown in Figure P1.38/39 require that the normal and shear stresses on plane AB not exceed 120 MPa and 90 MPa, respectively. Determine the maximum load P that can be applied without exceeding the specifications.
FIGURE P1.38/39 Solution
The general equations for normal and shear stresses on an inclined plane in terms of the angle are (1 cos 2 ) 2 n P A (a) and sin 2 2 nt P A (b)
The cross-sectional area of the square bar is A = (50 mm)2 = 2,500 mm2, and the angle for plane AB is 55°.
The normal stress on plane AB is limited to 120 MPa; therefore, the maximum load P that can be supported by the square bar is found from Eq. (a):

FIGURE P1.40 Solution
The general equations for normal and shear stresses on an inclined plane in terms of the angle are (1 cos 2 ) 2 n P A (a) and sin 2 2 nt P A (b)
The cross-sectional area of the square post is A = (6 in.)2 = 36 in.2, and the angle for plane AB is 40°. The normal stress on plane AB is limited to 800 psi; therefore, the maximum load P that can be

The angle for plane AB is 50°.
The normal stress on plane AB is limited to 150 MPa; therefore, the minimum cross-sectional area A required to support P = 280 kN can be found from Eq. (a):
