An arm ABC lying in a horizontal plane and supported at A (Figure 4) is made of two identical solid steel bars AB and BC welded together at a right angle. Each bar is 0.50 m long. Knowing that the maximum tensile stress (principal stress) at the top of the bar at support A due solely to the weights of the bars is 6.40 MPa, a) determine the diameter d of the bars. Density of steel is 7860 kg/m³. b) If bigger diameter or longer length of steel bars needed for the arm ABC, any modification can be made to support the same maximum tensile stress.
