Question

The tension member is fastened together using two bolts, one on each side of the member as shown. Each bolt has a diameter of 0.3 in. Determine the maximum load $P$ that can be applied to the member if the allowable shear stress for the bolts is $\tau_{\text {allow }}=12 \mathrm{ksi}$ and the allowable average normal stress is $\sigma_{\text {allow }}=20 \mathrm{ksi}$.

Step 1

The diameter of each bolt is given as $0.3 \, \text{in}$. The cross-sectional area $A$ of a bolt can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: \[ A = \pi \left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2 \] Substitute $d = 0.3 \, \text{in}$: \[ A = \pi Show more…
