Combined Normal Stresses FIGURE Shows a portion of the steering mechanism for a car. The steering arm has the detailed design shown. Notice that the arm has a constant thickness of 10 mm so that all cross sections between the end lugs are rectangular. The 225-N force is applied to the arm at a 60-deg angle. Compute the stress in the arm at sections A and B. Then, if the arm is made of ductile iron, ASTM A536, grade 80-55-6, compute the minimum design factor at these two points based on ultimate strength.
