2. Weight W is hanged from the pin at A. AB
and AC are pined to the support at B and C.
Cross sectional area of the cables are AB =
800 mm^2 and 400 mm^2 for AC.
Neglecting the weight of the bars. Calculate
the maximum safe value of W in Newtons if
the normal stress in AB is limited to 11O MPa
and that in AC to 120 MPa.
