10. Rod AB in the diagram below needs to be replaced due to corrosion. Theweight shown exerts a downward force W = 800 N. a. Calculate the normal stress in

rod AB. b. For the replacement rod, your supervisor recommends using 304 Stainless Steel to improve the corrosion resistance.You decide to use a safety factor = 8.0 since this is a critical component.Calculate the minimum diameter you can use and still satisfy the 8.0 safety factor. The Yield Strength for 304 Stainless Steel is 207 MPa.
