, P1.3 Two Solid Cylindrical Rods (1) And (2)
Are Joined Together At Flange B And Loaded, As
Shown In Figure P1.3/4. If The Normal Stress
In Each Rod Must Be Limited To 40 Ksi,
Determine The Minimum Diameter Required
For Each Rod.

Solution
Cut A FBD Through Rod (1). The FBD Should Include The Free End Of The Rod At A.

Notice That Rods (1) And (2) Are In Compression. In This Situation, We Are
Concerned Only With The Stress Magnitude; Therefore, We Will Use The
Force Magnitudes To Determine The Minimum Required Cross-Sectional
Areas. If The Normal Stress In Rod (1) Must Be Limited To 40 Ksi, Then The
Minimum Cross-Sectional Area That Can Be Used For Rod (1) Is
