The structure can carry a maximum load of P=514 kN.

At this load, member (1) has a normal stress of:

σ1=F1A1=485.070 N3,080 mm2    =157.5 MPa      O.K.

and member (2) has a normal stress of:

σ2=F2A2=348.750 N4,650 mm2    =75.0 MPa       O.K.

The figure shows a diagonal member labeled 1 and a horizontal member labeled fixed to a column on the right at the points A on top and C below. The diagonal member runs between 
points A and B and the horizontal member runs between the points B and C. Joint B is at a distance of 4.3 meters to the left 
of A and 5 meters below A. Joint C is at a distance of 7 meters directly below A. The load at joint B is labeled P and it is 
directed downwards.
