Example 3: A horizontal rigid bar AB is pinned at end A and supported by two
wires (CD and EF) at points D and F. A vertical load P acts at end B of the bar.

respectively. Also wire CD has a diameter of d1 and a modulus of elasticity of E1.
Wire EF has a diameter of d2 and a modulus of E2. Find the allowable load P if the
allowable stresses in wires CD and EF are s1 and s2.

together on a plane pq making an angle a = 30o with the axis of the bar. The
allowable stresses in the brass are 13,000 psi in tension and 7000 psi in shear.

required diameter dmin of the bar? (1 psi = 1 lb/in2)
