Question: The frame below resists the lateral forces where P = 6 kips. The frame is made of a composite material has a compressive failure stress,

The frame below resists the lateral forces where P =6 kips. The frame is
made of a composite material has a compressive failure stress, \sigma fail,comp =
500 psi and a tensile failure stress, \sigma fail,tens =900 psi. If the required factor
of safety is 1.5, what is the required cross sectional area of members AC,
DC, BD and CE?
