Determine the required cross - sectional area of member bc and the diameter of the pins at a and ft if the allowable normal stress is sigma allow = 3 ksi and the allowable shear stress is tau allow = 4 ksi.

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.
