Question

As shown, a mass of weight W is suspended from one end of the control arm ABC. Two brackets support the bearing pin at point B (i.e., the pin is subjected to double shear). The connection at point C is rigid and only experiences a horizontal force component. Let = 2.0 , = 6.0 , = 200 , = 150 , and = 4.0 .

1. Find the required strength of the connecting rod given that the factor of safety is = 3.

2. Find the required strength of the bearing pin given that the factor of safety is = 3.

3.Find the required embedment length, L, given that the ultimate bonding stress between the wall and rod is 500 and the factor of safety is = 3.

4. Find the required bearing bracket thickness, t, given that 450 and the factor of safety is = 3.
