Consider the rod shown in $($Figure $1).$

Figure$1$ of $1$

A horizontal rod with a width of $40$ millimeters has an eyelet on its left end. The eyelet is connected to the horizontal pin fixed to the vertical wall. The rod is pulled horizontally rightward by force P$.$ The eyelet has a circular shape in the side view, and section plane $\text{'}$a$\text{'}\text{'}$a$\text{'}$ intersects the eyelet through the top and bottom points of that eyelet. Section $\text{'}$a$\text{'}\text{'}$a$\text{'}$ is shown in cross view below the image of the rod. The section has the shape of a rectangle with a height of $120$ millimeters and a width of $50$ millimeters with a gap of $60$ millimeters at its midheight.

Part A

Determine the maximum force P

that can be applied to the rod if it is made of material having a yield stress of $\backslash$sigma Y

$=295$ MPa

$.$ Consider the possibility that failure occurs in the rod and at section a$$a$.$ Apply a factor of safety of F$.$S$.=2$ against yielding.
