A rectangular steel bar has a cross section of $$0.5$$ " by $$1.5$$ " and is 8 " long. The bar is made of SAE 4150 OQT 1000 steel and has pin ends. Compute the admissible load for the two modes of assembly shown below. Use practical values for the end fixity coefficients and $$\mathrm{N}=3$$. Repeat the problem if a preexisting $$0.06$$ " crookedness is present. Is the material SAE $$4150\mathrm{OQT}1000$$ satisfactory if the load is applied eccentrically by $$0.1$$ "?
