An iron bolt is used to connect two iron plates together. The bolt must withstand shear force up to about 3200 N. Calculate the minimum diameter for the bolt, based on a safety factor of 8.0. (Shear strength of iron is 1.70 x 107 N/m2)

Fracture
Two steel plates are fastened together using four bolts. The bolts each have a shear modulus of $80 \mathrm{GPa}$ and a shear strength of 600 MPa. The radius of each bolt is $1.0 \mathrm{cm} .$ Normally, the bolts clamp the two plates together and the frictional forces between the plates keep them from sliding. If the bolts are loose, then the frictional forces are small and the bolts themselves would be subject to a large shear stress. What is the maximum shearing force $F$ on the plates that the four bolts can withstand?
