Rigid member ABC is subjected to a vertical load P at point      

Rigid member ABC is subjected to a vertical load P at point A as shown. Member CD is a uniform rectangular bar (15mm x 5 mm) of steel (E = 200 GPa) pinned at ends C & D. A 6 mm diameter pin is used at point C and a 4 mm diameter pin at point D. The allowable shear stress at pins C and D is 250 MPa and the allowable normal stress in member CD is 175 MPa. Determine the maximum load P that can be applied. Also, for this maximum load P what is the vertical displacement of point A? P A B C C -6 mm t-5 mm 2N w=15 mm t=5 mm LAB=250 mm Lac=150 mm BC L=200 mm CD t= 5mm 4 mm D
