A pin-connected truss composed of members AB and BC is subjected to a vertical force P = 40 kN at joint B (see figure). Each member is of constant cross-sectional area: A_AB = 0.004 m² and A_BC = 0.002 m². The diameter d of all pins is 20 mm, clevis thickness t is 10 mm, and the thickness t_1 of the bracket is 15 mm. Determine the normal stress acting in each member and the shearing stress at joint C.

A piece of engineering equipment is supported by the foundation shown: The diameter of the circular pin is 20 mm a.) Determine the value of P so as not to exceed the allowable bearing stress of 310.5 Mpa in the circular pin: b.) Determine the value of P so as not to exceed the allowable shearing stress of 138 Mpa in the circular pin.
