Rigid triangle ABC is pinned at B and supported by a steel-reinforced aluminum shaft at A and an aluminum-copper at C. The steel-reinforced aluminum shaft is fixed at F while the aluminum-copper rod is fixed at E. Determine the maximum weight of triangle ABC if the allowable stress for steel, copper, and aluminum are 36 ksi, 11.4 ksi, and 60 ksi, respectively, and the allowable deformation for the aluminum-copper rod CDE is 0.1 in.
