Figure for questions 5 through 7. The pin is shown removed from the hole only for
clarity. Assume the pin passes through the receiver on both sides.
Assume the mode of failure of the joint above will
be normal stress in the tongue at a cross section at the
hole. If the tongue is composed of structural steel, then
the maximum load P allowable to maintain a factor of
safety of FS = 2.7 against yielding is closest to:
