A prototype of suspended bridge is shown in the figure given below. 

A prototype of suspended bridge is shown in the figure given below. The bridge must withstand a maximum load of Fmax 100000 N. The design calls for two cylindrical support posts, each of which is to support half of the maximum load. Each support is made of plain-carbon steel. The yield strength of this alloy is YS-o,-240 MPa. Factor of safety for this construction is taken N=3. (LO-1) What is the maximum working stress (Oworking) for a cylindrical support post? Fmax/2 Fmax/2 A (cross-sectional area)
