28. A locomotive coupling rod, 2.5 m between centres, is of symmetrical I. section: the outside dimensions are: 40 mm wide by 120 mm deep, web, 14 mm thick and flanges each 20 mm thick. Find the maximum compressive stress in the rod due to an end thrust of 150 kN and a uniform transverse load of 5 kN/m. E = 200 GN/m (U. Lond.) (Ans.: 1114 MN/ma)
