The hoist shown supports a load P = 10 kip. Member BC is a round steel rod, and member AB is a square wooden post. The allowable stress is 20 ksi for steel in tension and 800 psi for wood in compression parallel to the grain. Determine the diameter of the steel rod and the dimensions of the square wooden post.

A wood pole with a solid circular cross section $(d=\text { diameter })$ is subjected to a triangular distributed horizontal force of peak intensity $q_{0}=20 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}$ (see figure). The length of the pole is $L=6 \mathrm{ft}$, and the allowable stresses in the wood are 1900 psi in bending and 120 psi in shear. Determine the minimum required diameter of the pole based upon (a) the allowable bending stress, and (b) the allowable shear stress.

A hoist is constructed using two wooden bars to lift a weight of 20 kN, as shown in Figure Q4(b). The modulus of elasticity of wood is E = 12 GPa and the maximum allowable normal stress is 60 MPa. Considering buckling failure, determine the maximum value of L that can be used in the construction of the hoist. (7 marks) Do an analysis to check if the maximum allowable stress has been exceeded.

The truss $A B C$ shown in the figure is subjected to a horizontal load $P$ at joint $B$. The two bars are identical with cross-sectional area $A$ and modulus of elasticity $E$ (a) Determine the strain energy $U$ of the truss if the angle $\beta=60^{\circ}$ (b) Determine the horizontal displacement $\delta_{B}$ of joint $B$ by equating the strain energy of the truss to the work done by the load.
