If the combined dead load and live load to be carried by the floor is 250 psf, compute the rod diameter required. Use an allowable tensile stress of 22,000 psi.

10.6 ASTM A36 steel rods are used to support a balcony. Each rod is suspended from a roof beam and supports a balcony floor area of 75 ft2. If the combined dead load and live load to be carried by the floor is 250 psf, compute the rod diameter required. Use an allowable tensile stress of 22,000 psi
