Two solid bars support a load P as shown. Bar (1) has a cross-sectional area of A₁ = 4500 mm2 and an allowable normal stress of 170 MPa. Bar (2) has a cross-sectional area of A₂ = 2850 mm² and an allowable normal stress of 60 MPa. Assume x₁ = 2.1 m, x₂ = 3.6 m, y₁= 0.9 m, and y2 = 3.0 m. Determine the maximum load Pmax that can be supported by the structure without exceeding either allowable normal stress. T Answer: Pmax= (1) 1. B P kN
