Textbook Question
Chapter 1.5, Problem 58P
The Load and Resistance Factor Design method is to be used to select the two cables that will raise and lower a platform supporting two window washers. The platform weighs 160 lb and each of the window washers is assumed to weigh 195 lb with equipment. Since these workers are free to move on the platform, 75% of their total weight and the weight of their equipment will be used as the design live load of each cable. (a) Assuming a resistance factor ϕ = 0.85 and load factors γD = 1.2 and γL = 1.5, determine the required minimum ultimate load of one cable. (b) What is the corresponding conventional factor of safety for the selected cables?

Question 1The 150 kg bucket is suspended from a cable on the wooden frame. The frame is supported by a pin at E (which is connected in double-shear) and reinforced by a strut BD and a steel cable CF as shown in Figure 1 (attachment). The effect of friction at joints and support, the self-weight of the frames, and the deformation of the cable are neglected.
(a) Sketch the free body diagram. (b) Determine the internal force in cable CF and reaction forces at joint E. (c) Determine the resultant internal loadings acting on section a-a. (d) Determine the diameter of the pins at E if the allowable shear stress is τallow = 72 MPa.The pin is subjected to double shear.
