and C with double shear pin connections, while the pin at B is attached with a single shear connection. The pins at A, B, and C each have
a diameter of 0.500 in. and an ultimate shear strength of 73 ksi, and tie rod (1) has diameter of 0.875 in. and a yield strength of 39 ksi.
Determine the allowable load P that may be applied to the rigid beam if an overall factor of safety of 1.6 is required.
