PROBLEM 1.17
A load P is applied to a steel rod supported as shown by an
aluminum plate into which a 0.6-in.-diameter hole has been
drilled. Knowing that the shearing stress must not exceed
18 ksi in the steel rod and 10 ksi in the aluminum plate,
determine the largest load P that can be applied to the rod.

PROBLEM 1.26
Link AB, of width b = 50 mm and thickness t = 6 mm, is used to support
the end of a horizontal beam. Knowing that the average normal stress in
the link is -140 MPa, and that the average shearing stress in each of the
two pins is 80 MPa, determine (a) the diameter d of the pins, (b) the
average bearing stress in the link.
