Answer» Answer is 1.40 EXPLANATION:The FACTOR of SAFETY is given as F1 =YIELD stress/Allowable stress=1.5When the allowable stress is increased by 20%, then factor of safety will be F2=Yield stress/ 1.2×Allowable stress⇒ F2=1/1.2×Yield stress/ Allowable stress⇒ F2=1/1.2×1.5 1.25Load factor = Shape factor × Factor of safety= 1.12 × F2 = 1.12 × 1.25= 1.40 |
