b) A force of 80 kN is applied to a rigid body BCD as shown in Figure Q2. The rigid body is also supported by a cable AB and pin connection at point C. The yield stress under shearing and the safety factor for the pin C are 300 MPa and 2.5, respectively. Cable AB has a diameter of 30 mm with Young's modulus of 200 GPa .
i) Calculate the normal stress in cable AB
ii) Calculate the normal strain in cable AB
iii) Determine the allowable diameter of pin C
