An aluminum bar has length L = 6 ft and diameter d = 1.375 in. The stress-strain curse for the aluminum is shown in Fig. 1.34.

A metal bar AB of a weight Ills suspended by a system of steel wires arranged as shown in the figure. The diameter of the wires is 5/64 in., and the yield stress of the steel is 65 ksi. Determine the maximum permissible weight W max for a factor of safety of 1.9 with respect to yielding.
Two bars AC and BC of the same material support a vertical load P (see figure). The length L of the horizontal bar is fixed, but the angle fl can be varied by moving support A vertically and changing the length of bar AC to correspond with the new position of support A. The allowable stresses in the bars are the same in tension and compression. When the angle ft is reduced, bar AC becomes shorter, but the cross-sectional areas of both bars increase because the axial forces are larger. The opposite effects occur if the angle 0 is increased. Thus, the weight of the structure (which is proportional to the volume) depends upon the angle ft. Determine the angle ft so that the structure has minimum weight without exceeding the allowable stresses in the bars. Note: The weights of the bars are very small compared to the force P and may be disregarded.
