Question: Under certain loading conditions for the beam/ cable configuration in Figure, static analysis determined Ax = 43 000 N, Av = 5100 N, and T = 62 000 N. Find
(a) the minimum allowable pin diameter if the pin is stainless steel, in single shear, and has a design stress of 75 MPa, and
(b) the minimum cable diameter if the cable is structural steel with a factor of safety of 2.0 based on yield strength.
