Problem Set 1: Simple Stress

Instructions: Solve the given problems and show your clear solution in a short size bond paper. Provide
illustration if necessary and avoid erasures.

1.) Determine the largest weight W which can be supported by the two wires shown in Fig. P-103. The
stresses in wires AB and AC are not to exceed 100 MPa and 150 MPa respectively. The cross-sectional
areas of the two wires are 400 mm2 for wire AB and 200 mm2 for wire AC.

a.) 40 kN c.) 35 kN

b.) 33.5 kN d.) 45 kN

2.) Determine the outside diameter of a hollow steel tube that will carry a tensile load of 500 kN at a
stress of 140 MN/m2 . Assume the wall thickness to be one-tenth of the outside diameter.

a.) 108 mm c.) 107 mm

b.) 106 mm d.) 109 mm

3.) For the truss shown in Fig. P-104, calculate the stresses in members DF, CE, and BD. The cross-
sectional area of each member is 1200 mm2. Indicate tension (T) or compression (C).

a.) DF = 200 MPa (C) ; CE = 120 MPa (T) ; BD = 90 MPa (C)

b.) DF = 190 MPa (C) ; CE = 115 MPa (T) ; BD = 85 MPa (C)

c.) DF = 188 MPa (C) ; CE = 113 MPa (T) ; BD = 80.1 MPa (C)

d.) DF = 185 MPa (C) ; CE = 110 MPa (T) ; BD = 85.1 MPa (C)

B and a smooth vertical surface at A. Determine the diameter of the smallest pin which can be used at B
if its shear stress is limited to 60 MPa. The detail of the pin support at B is identical to that of the pin
support at D shown in Fig. P-118.
