Question: Cable D B supports canopy beam OABC as shown in the figure. a ) Find the required cross - sectional area of cable B D

Cable DB supports canopy beam OABC as shown in the figure.
a) Find the required cross-sectional area of cable BD if the allowable normal stress is 200MPa. (20%)
b) Determine the required diameter of the pins at O if the allowable stress in shear is 120MPa. (Hint: use resultant force at O and The pin at O is in double shear.
c) Determine the elongation and strain of the cable DB if E=180Gpa. (Consider the area of the cable DB as it is calculated in part (a))(20%)
Assume that canopy beam weight is W=11kN.
