Two steel plates are fastened together using four bolts. The bolts each have a shear modulus of 80.0 GPa and a shear strength of 605 MPa. The radius of each bolt is 0.900 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? N

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?
Two steel plates are fastened together using four bolts. The bolts each have a shear modulus of $8.0 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{Pa}$ and a shear strength of $6.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{Pa} .$ 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.

Two parallel oppositely directed forces, each $4000 \mathrm{~N}$, are applied tangentially to the upper and lower faces of a cubical metal block $25 \mathrm{~cm}$ on a side. Find the angle of shear and the displacement of the upper surface relative to the lower surface. The shear modulus for the metal is 80 GPa.
