For the following problem, assume the modulus of elasticity for steel to be 30,000,000 psi (207 000) and the proportional limit to be 34,000 psi (234 MPa). Refer to Appendices F or G for other materials.

A bin weighing 8 tons is supported by three steel tension rods. Each rod is . in diameter. Assume that the rods support equal loads. Find the stress in the rods.
