A simplified model of a basketball hoop is shown. During a basket dunk a player hangs from the rim applying a force of 320 lbs including a dynamic load factor. The stand is a square tube with 5 inches outside length and 0.25 inches thickness. The distance from the edge of the rim to the middle of the square tube is 4 ft. Assuming the model is rigid, the normal stress at point A is most closely equal to:

A workshop crane is lifting a load of 28 kN through a wire rope and a hook. The weight of the hook etc is 15 kN. The rope drum diameter may be taken as 30 times the diameter of the rope. The load is to be lifted with an acceleration of 1.2 m/sec2. Take a factor of safety of 6 and Young's modulus for the wire rope is 80 kN/mm2. The ultimate stress may be taken as 1800 MPa.
