Required information

A rectangular bar is cut from an AISI $1020$ cold$-$drawn steel flat. The bar is $3\mathrm{.}000$ in wide by $\frac{3}{8}$ in thick and has a $0\mathrm{.}600-$india. hole drilled through the center as depicted in Table $A-15-1.$ The bar is concentrically loaded in push$-$pull fatigue by axial forces $F_a,$ uniformly distributed across the width. Using a design factor of $n_d=2,$ estimate the largest force $F_a$ that can be applied ignoring column action.

What is the largest force that can be applied to the part? $($Round the final answer to three decimal places.$)$

The largest force that can be applied is $$ kips.
