a. The force F1
b. The average normal and shear stresses on plane BB.
Q4. Each of the two vertical links CF connecting the two horizontal members AD and EG has a 10 x 40 mm uniform rectangular cross section and is made of a steel with an ultimate strength in tension of 400 MPa, while each of the pins at C and F has a 30 mm diameter and is made of a steel with an ultimate strength in shear of 150 MPa. Determine the overall factor of safety for the links CF and the pins connecting them to the horizontal members.
