5. Design a two-member bracket to support a force W (=10 N) without

structural failure. Since the bracket will be produced in large
quantities, the design objective is to minimize its mass while
also satisfying certain fabrication and space limitation.
a. Density of the material = 7850 kg/m3
b. Allowable stress limit = 16000 N/m2

c. Theta=30o

d. hD1; hD2;

[h, s, D1, d1, D2, d2],
LB=[0.01 0.00001 0.0002 0.0001 0.0005 0.0002]; UB=[10 1 1 0.9 1
