For this question, we're looking at two steel plates, drawn over here and here, this other steel plates, being fastened together by four bolts.
00:15
These four bolts pass through the entire plate, two of the steel plates, and keep them together.
00:24
In the case where the bolts are not fastened, so the plates can actually slide along its sharp, other, we want to find out what is the maximum force that the pleats can, you can exit on the plates, of which the bolts can withstand and not break.
00:49
Right.
00:50
So the force on the plates, we will have to divide that by the cross section of the bolts in order to find the sheer stress.
01:09
And the shear stress will be equivalent to the maximum shear strength of the bolts.
01:21
When we are looking at the maximum amount of force, right, you can handle.
01:30
So it goes to the max equals to the shear strength when we are looking at f max...
