Name: MAE 243 Spring 2009 PROBLEM (1): A loading crane consisting of a steel girder BC supported by a steel girder BP (both of rectangular cross section with height 4cm) and three steel pins at A, B and C is subjected to a load P = 1.5 KN as shown. Knowing that 0 =60°, L=30cm, the yield stress of the steel used in tension is 200 MPa, yield stress in shear is 80 MPa and the yield stress in bearing is 260 MPa: (a) Draw the free body diagram and find the reactions at A and B. [1 pts] (b) For a factor of safety of 2 in tension determine the minimum width of girder AC [2 pts] (©) If the width of AC and BC is 8cm what is the minimum diameter of the pin at C for a factor of safety of 2 [you may assume the pin is in single shear and should consider both shear and bearing stresses]?
