Question
The tension and shear force (both in kN) in each bolt of the joint, as shown below, respectively are
Correct answer
(D) 33.33 and 25.00
Solution
The applied force kN is inclined with a slope of 4 horizontal to 3 vertical.
Horizontal component (Tension), kN.
Vertical component (Shear), kN.
There are 6 bolts in the joint.
Tension force in each bolt = kN.
Shear force in each bolt = kN.
Thus, the tension and shear forces are 33.33 kN and 25.00 kN respectively.
Horizontal component (Tension), kN.
Vertical component (Shear), kN.
There are 6 bolts in the joint.
Tension force in each bolt = kN.
Shear force in each bolt = kN.
Thus, the tension and shear forces are 33.33 kN and 25.00 kN respectively.
