A part of a conveyor system for a production operation is shown below. Design the horizontal bar that extends between two adjacent conveyor hangers and that supports a fixture as its midpoint. The empty fixture weighs 85 lb. A cast iron engine block weighing 225 lb is hung on the fixture to carry it from one process to another, where it is then removed. It is expected that the system will experience many thousands of cycles of loading and unloading of the engine blocks. The pin at the middle of the horizontal bar where the fixture is hung has been specified to have a diameter of 0.5 in. Those at each end where the horizontal bar is connected to the conveyor hanger are each 0.375 in.
