An upward load is applied to a circular rod that has a diameter of 10.55 mm. The rod is connected to the ground using a pin that has a diameter of 9.57 mm. If the normal stress in the rod is limited to 295 MPa and the average shear stress in the pin is limited to 135 MPa, determine the maximum load that can be applied to this connection.

The spherical face shield of an astronaut’s helmet is made from polycarbonate with a yield strength of 105 MPa. The shield has an outside diameter of 358 mm and a thickness of 4.3 mm. If the shield is successfully pressure tested to 840 kPa on Earth, determine the factor of safety with respect to yielding.
