A solid circular rod of diameter d undergoes a bending moment M = 1000 lbf • in inducing a stress . Using a material strength of 25 kpsi and a design factor of 2.5, determine the minimum diameter of the rod. Using Table A–17, select a preferred fractional diameter and determine the resulting factor of safety.
