A

Greg is a civil ergineering trying to impress his girlfried with his knowledge in Mechanics. He saw a beam that is beam supported at A and supperted by a steel rod at C. He knows that this is a stable structure and he computed that he could drive his car from Point A to Point C Safely without the beam failing. However, he forgot to consider the strength of the connections in his calculations.a) At what maximum distance, x, will Greg be able to drive before the connections at A and C starts failing? The total weight of the car (including Greg) Is 12KN (use FOS. = 1.0)b) if a factor of safety of 1.5 is considered in all elements what is the maximum weight that the system can carry at the computed distance (x)?The following are some properties of the connection (all connecion elements have the same material property)Ultimate tensile stress =100 MPaUltimate shear stress =60 MPaUltimate Bearing stress= 80 MPaDiameter of pin at A and C= 16mmThickness of jaw= 5mmthickness of bracket at A and C = 12 mmDiameter of steel rod=16 mmLength of steel beam = 5m
