Solve Problem by using a computer program.

For the slant-legged rigid frame shown in Figure P5–21, size the structure for minimum weight based on a maximum bending stress of 20 ksi in the horizontal beam elements and a maximum compressive stress (due to bending and direct axial load) of 15 ksi in the slant-legged elements. Use the same element size for the two slant-legged elements and the same element size for the two 10-foot sections of the horizontal element. Assume A36 steel is used.
