A cantilevered L-shaped round bar (diameter 1.0 in) is subjected to the vertical load P at C as shown in the figure below. The ductile material of part AB has a yield strength of S = 32 kpsi. (Ignore the failure of part BC during the service.)
(a) Find the load P required to initiate yielding at point A if higher reliability is required.
(b) If P is 100 lbf, and the design factor is required to be 2.0, redesign the part AB by finding a proper d.
