The maximum allowable load P is determined such that neither F1 nor F2 exceeds their respective allowable forces.

To satisfy the allowable stress specified for member (1), P must produce no more than 554.4 kN of axial force in member (1). Therefore, P must be limited to:

P1.06083 F1  1.06083(554.4 kN)  588.12 kN

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.
