A horizontal load P is applied to an assembly consisting of two inclined bars, as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of bar (1) is 1.25 in.², and the cross-sectional area of bar (2) is 1.80 in.². The normal stress in either bar may not exceed 22 ksi. Determine the maximum load P that may be applied to this assembly. Assume dimensions of a = 18.0 ft, b = 8.0 ft, and c = 15.0 ft.
