The cross section of the shaft of the hydraulic piston
DH
in Problem 3.18 is shown. A downward force
F
= 1600 N acts at
G. What is the normal stress in the shaft
DH?

Problem 3.18

The structure shown supports a downward force
F
at
G. The cross section of the connecting link
BC
is shown. If the tensile normal stress in the link
BC
is 1.2 MPa, what is the force
F?
