A circular brass bar with a diameter d is member AC in truss ABC that has load P = 30 kN applied at joint C. Bar AC is composed of two segments brazed together on a plane pq, making an
angle = 360with the axis of the bar (see figure). The allowable stresses in the brass are 90 MPa in tension and 48 MPa in shear. On the brazed joint, the allowable stresses are 40 MPa in tension and 20 MPa in shear. What is the tensile force NACin bar AC? What is the minimum required diameter dminof bar AC?
