Determine the largest load p that can be applied


The rigid bar AC is supported by a pin at F and two identical links BD and CE. The length between point A and B is 22 in, between B and F is 3 in, and between F and C is 4 in. The length of the links are 9 inches. Both are made of brass (E = 15 * 10^6 psi) and have a cross sectional area of .25 sq. in.

The pin used at support F has a diameter of 1/2 in and is under single shear. Determine the largest load P that can be applied at point A knowing that the normal stress magnitude in each link is not to exceed 24 ksi, the shearing stress in pin F is not to exceed 15 ksi, and the deflection of point A is not to exceed .08 in.
