Problem 105: A homogeneous 800-kg bar AB is supported at either end by a
cable as shown in Fig. P-105. Calculate the smallest area of each cable if the
stress is not to exceed 90 MPa in bronze and 120 MPa in steel.
Given:
Required: Smallest area of bronze
and steel cables
Solution: For bronze cable:
Pbr = σ brAbr
3924 = 90 Abr
Abr = 43.6 mm2 answer
For steel cable:
Pst = σ stAst
3924 = 120 Ast
By symmetry:
Ast = 32.27 mm2 answer
Pbr = Pst= ½ (7848)
Pbr = 3924N
Pst = 3924N
Problem 106: The homogeneous bar shown in Fig. P-106 is supported
by a smooth pin at C and a cable that runs from A to B around a
smooth peg at D. Find the stress in the cable [f itf diameter is 0.6 in.
and the bar weighs 6000lb.
T = σA
Solution: 2957.13 = σ[ ¼ (0.6)]
ΣMC = 0 σ = 10 458.72 psi
5T + 10( ) = 5(6000)
T = 2957.13 lb
Problem 107. A rod is composed of an aluminum section rigidly attached
between steel and bronze sections, as shown in Fig. P-107. Axial loads are
applied at the positions indicated. If P = 3000 lb and the cross-sectional
area of the rod is 0.5 in.2, determine the stress in each section.
For bronze:
σlv Alv= Plv
σlv(0.5) = 9
Solution:
σlv = 18ksi
For steel:
σst Ast = Pst
σst(0.5) = 12
Problem 108. An aluminum rod is rigidly attached between a steel rod as
shown in Fig.108. Axial loads are applied at the positions indicated. Find
the maximum value of P that will not exceed a stress in steel of 140 MPa,
or in broze of 100 MPa.
For aluminum:
σal Aal= P
90(400) = P
P = 36 000N
Solution: For steel:
For bronze: σst Ast= 5P
σlv Alv = 2P P = 14 000 N
100(200) = 2P For safe P, use P = 10 000 N = 10
P = 10 000 N kN
Problem 109. Determine the largest weight W that can be supported by
two wires shown in Fig. P109. The stress in either wire is not to exceed
30 ksi. The cross-sectional areas of wires AB and AC are in 0.4 in 2 and
0.5 in2 , respectively.

=0.8794
=0.8794
0.8794 = 30(0.5)
= 17.1 kips
Solution:
For wood: Safe load =90.478 lb
=
=1800
= 90 477.9 lb
