Question: The solid cylindrical rod BC with length L = 2 4 in is attached to the rigid lever AB of length a = 1 5

The solid cylindrical rod BC with length L=24 in is attached to the rigid lever AB of length a=15 in and to the fixed support at C. It is required that when a P=100lbf load is applied at A, point A cannot be displaced by more than 1-in (downward). Rod BC is made of aluminum with an allowable stress of 10 ksi and a modulus of rigidity of G=3900ksi. Under these conditions (A) determine the smallest diameter that can be used, and (B) determine the maximum stress and the displacement of A using the diameter in part A. Ans. Part A=1.09 in
The solid cylindrical rod BC with length L = 2 4
