List down the given data.

Given:

  • Applied load: P=8.5 kips=8500 lbsP = 8.5\ \text{kips} = 8500\ \text{lbs}
  • Allowable stress: σmax=18 ksi=18000 psi\sigma_{\text{max}} = 18\ \text{ksi} = 18000\ \text{psi}
  • Radius at A: rA=12 inr_{\text{A}} = \dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{in}
  • Radius at B: rB=38 inr_{\text{B}} = \dfrac{3}{8}\ \text{in}
  • Width at the larger end: w1=2.2 inw_1 = 2.2\ \text{in}
  • Width at the smaller end: w2=1.6 inw_2 = 1.6\ \text{in}

Required:

  • Minimum thickness, tt
