Question

The deflection in cable B cannot exceed 1 degree. The normal stress cannot exceed 270 ksi. Determine the maximum force that can be applied at P. Report answer in kips

(1000 lbs.) An external equilibrium analysis is required to complete this problem. If point 2 is 300 ksi, what is the factor of safety for this system based onyield strength? Using Young's Modulus, what is the strain that results from applying P?
