PROBLEM \#1
For the building frame shown, the tensile bracing member, BC, located at 45 degrees from the horizontal, consists of a \(5^{\circ}\times 3-1/2^{\prime \prime}\times 3/8^{-1}\) angle, (A36 steel see AISCM angle products Tabie 1-7A for gage of bolts vertically). A horizontal point live load equal to 50 kips due to wind loading enters the top of the frame at point '\( A \)'. The connection utilizes \(3/4\) inch diameter boits between member BC and gusset plates at points '\( B \)' and '\( C \)' are as shown.
a. Determine the tensile capacity of the angle. (35 points)
b. Resolve the force in member BC to determine if the angle has been adequately sized. (5 points)
