A concentrated load of P = 70 kips is applied to beam AB as shown in the
figure below. Beam AB is 12 feet in length, and the force P can be applied at any value of 'x' along its length. Rod (1) has a diameter of 1.50 inches, and its yield strength is 60 ksi. Pin A is supported in a double shear connection, and the ultimate shear strength of pin A is 80 ksi. (a) Determine the normal stress in rod (1) for a value of load P placement of x = 8 feet. (b) Determine the factor of safety with respect to the yield strength for rod (1) with a value of load P placement of x = 8 feet. (c) Plot the normal stress and the factor of safety (yield strength) for rod (1) for values of the load P placement 'x' ranging from 2 feet to 12 feet. (c) If a factor of safety of 3.0 with respect to the ultimate strength is specified for pin A, determine the minimum required pin diameter at A for a load 'P' placement of x = 8 feet. Also, plot the minimum required pin diameter at A for load 'P' placement ranging from x = 0 to 12 feet and a factor of safety = 3.0. (d) At what value of 'x' should load 'P' be positioned that results in the absolute minimum diameter for pin A (assuming a factor of safety = 3.0 for pin A)?
