The bell-crank lever shown is used to change the direction and magnitude of a force. The pin at B has a diameter of 0.65 in., and the pins at A and D have diameters of 0.5in.Theultimatenormalstressis36 ksi in the link AD, and the ultimate shear stress is 14.5ksi in the pins. What is the allowable load P if the factor of safety is 3.5 ?
Use ABC as a free body
At point B moment is zero
?M_B = 0
F_(AD)*12 - P*8 = 0
F_(AD) = (2/3)*P
In x direction total force balance equation
?F_x = 0 ; B_x + p = 0
B_x = -P
In y direction total force balance equation
?F_y = 0 ; B_y - F_AD = 0
