A swivel C bracket shown in Figure P11–23 is mounted to a
ceiling of a building and has a speaker (not shown) of 20 lbf hanging from each
mounting hole. The mounting bracket is made of A 36 steel with a modulus of
elasticity of 29

psi, Poisson’s ratio
of 0.29, and yield strength of 36,000 psi. Determine the maximum von Mises
stress and deflection in the bracket. (This problem is compliments of Tyler
Austin and Kyle Jones.)
