Calculating the reactions and using method of joints
The tension in the bar $DC$ is given: $1$ kN.
The tension in the bar $AC$ is also given: $-1.414$ kN.
Neglecting gravitational forces, there is only one external force.
Free-body diagram of the $DC$ ...

How to design the thickness and diameter of a cantilever beam in bending for both composites and metals?
The equation for bending stress is $\sigma_b = \dfrac{My}{I}$
For a thin-walled circular shaft, $I = \dfrac{\pi d^3t}{8}$, $d = 2r$ (diameter)
Rewrite the equation, with $y = d/2$:
$\sigma_b = \dfrac{...
