Question: Two horizontal 5 - kip forces are applied to pin B . All three pins at joints A , B , and C have diameters

Two horizontal 5-kip forces are applied to pin B. All three pins at joints A,B, and C have diameters of 0.8 in . Determine (A) the axial forces on members AB and BC,(B) the maximum normal stress on member AB and BC, and (C) the factor of safety against shear failure of pin A assuming it is made of steel with an ultimate shearing stress of 50 ksi . Denote tensile forces and stresses as positive values and compressive forces and stresses as negative values. Ans. Part B AB=+14.6ksi
