Chain links consist of incomplete steel loops. For the chain shown of width w = 1.5 in and wire diameter d = 0.25 in, determine the maximum allowable axial force $F_0$ if the allowable tensile stress is 12 ksi.

Step 1
First, we need to calculate the cross-sectional area of the chain link. The cross-sectional area can be calculated using the formula: A = π/4 * (d^2 - (d - 2t)^2) where d is the wire diameter and t is the thickness of the chain link. In this case, d = 0.25 in Show more…

The steel bracket is used to connect the ends of two cables. If the allowable normal stress for the steel is $\sigma_{\text {allow }}=30 \mathrm{ksi}$, determine the largest tensile force $P$ that can be applied to the cables. Assume the bracket is a rod having a diameter of 1.5 in.
