Question

-Elastic Strain, Deflection and Stability

Figure P5.41 shws a boom and a tie rod arrangement supporting a load of 6 KN. The tie rod is made of steel having a tensile yield strength of 400 MPa

(a) What is the safelty factor of the tie rod with respect to static yielding?

(B) What is the safety factor of the tie-rod if the vertical rod is rotated 180o so that the 6 -KN load acts upward?

(C) What is the conclusion you draw with respect to the relative desirability of designing machines with column members loaded in tension versus loaded in compression?

THe answers in the book state (A) 5.3 (B) none, it will buckle

i need help working it out.
