Notes: Allowable normal stress (compression) = 45 ksi Allowable normal stress (tension)= 36 ksi Allowable shear stress = 18 ksi 10- 0.75 T In the diagram above all members have cross section dimensions of 0.75"x2.5". If the safety factor (F.S.) for all components is 2.5, and the diameter of the pins is 1.0", determine the maximum value of P based on the allowable normal stress on members BD and CE and the allowable shear stress on the pins. Note that all pins are double shear pins. Explain which one of the two (the shear stress on the pins or the normal stress on members) is the limiting factor.
