Group Problem 1: The box is completely solid (not hollow). It is made of 1020 carbon steel. Your boss asks for you to safely hang it from the ceiling using four 30" long rods, made of the same material. You go to a catalog to order engineering materials and see that the rods come in diameters that vary by 1/16" of an inch (you can't order any diameter rod that you wish). 1. Determine F1 for the material properties for this situation. We will use a common, mild steel for the rods. Hot rolled 1020 is a common and inexpensive option. These rods have not been tested by us, but have been by the manufacturer. F1 = 2. Determine F2 for the environmental conditions for this situation. This structure will be used inside a large atrium, with consistent HVAC for climate control, and lots of natural light. F2 = 3. Determine F3 for the modelling conditions for this situation. The load is a suspended mass, and should be approximately static. Structural flex and wind currents inside the atrium could cause some meaningful variation. F3 = 36" 12" 12"
