on the crushing load, I thought that since the force acting on the mass is known, multiplying by the contact area A=200 400 I obtain the crushing pressure.
Unfortunately, that's the way the design is: it's a task that requires the construction of machines and as such, one has to make assumptions to solve it.
The figure shows a device for ironing, or other finishing operations, a roll of fabric.
The fabric is fed by the braked drum A, guided in the horizontal section by the idle rollers C and D and collected by the motorized drum B. In the horizontal section, the fabric is pressed by the movable...

ok sorry for posting in this forum.
My solution is:
The only doubt is that the CE connection is a strut so in compression in the balance must a negative sign be put?
Connection BD is made of brass (E = 105 GPa) and has a cross-section of 256 mm^2. Connection CE is made of aluminum(E = 73 GPa) and has a cross-section of 320 mm^2.
• Determine the maximum force P that can be applied vertically at point A if the displacement of A must not exceed 0.35 mm.
