A device is to be hydraulically loaded to resist an upward force P = 6000 lb as shown in Figure P11–17. Determine the thickness of the device such that the maximum deflection is 0.1 in. vertically and the maximum stress is less than the yield strength using a factor of safety of 2 (only on the stress). The device must fit in a space 7 in. high, 3 in. wide, and 2.3 in. deep. The top flange is bent vertically as shown, and the device is clamped to the floor. Use steel for the material.
