Consider the bracket shown in Figure. The rod length is 6 in and the arm is 8 in (I = 6 in and a = 8 in). The rod outside diameter is 1.5 in (d = 1.5 in). The static load (F) is 1000 Ib.

(a) The material is 2024-T4 aluminum with the yield strength of 47000 psi. Determine the safety factor for the bracket rod based on both the distortion-energy theory and the maximum shear stress theory and compare them.
