SIMPLE STRESS

For the structure shown in the figure, the working stresses are up to 16000 psi for the steel cable AB and 720 psi for the wood strut BC. (a) Which of the two members, namely AB and BC, is at maximum allowable stress when W is largest? Justify your answer with supporting calculations (b) iF W is  7000 lbs, find the stress in each member. Specify if tensile or compressive stress. SHOW FBD.
