P3 The diagram shows a shackle joint subjected to a tensile load. The connecting
rods A and B are made from steel and the pin c is made from brass. Youngs
modulus is 210 GPa for steel and 100GPa foe brass. The shear modulus for steel
is 140GPa and the shear modulus for brass is 70GPa. The smallest diameter for
the connecting rods A and B is 20mm and the diameter of the pin C is 15 mm.
a) Calculate the maximum direct stress in the connecting rods
b) Calculate the maximum direct strain in the connecting rods
c) Calculate the change in length of a 500mm length of connecting rod.
d) Calculate the shear stress in the pin
