E For the conditions described in, specify a suitable standard steel pipe for use as the connecting rod. Use a design factor of 4.0. The pipe is to be made from ASTM A501 structural steel.

  shows the proposed design for a hydraulic press used to compact solid waste. A piston at the right is capable of exerting a force of 12 500 lb through the connecting rod to the ram. The rod is straight and centrally loaded. It is made from AISI 1040 WQT 1100 steel. Compute the resulting design factor for this design.
