Problem 4. (25 points) A brass bar AB projecting from the side of a large machine is loaded at end B by a force P = 1500 lb acting with eccentricity e = 0.45 in. (as shown in the following figure). The bar has a rectangular cross section with height h = 1.2 in. and width b=0.6 in. What is the largest possible length of the bar if the deflection at the end is limited to 0.12 in.? (for brass, use E = 16 x 106 psl.) A Th Brass bar L ^b B P
