Correct answer
155 to 156.3
Solution
1.Direct Shear Force ():
(acting vertically downwards on each bolt).2.Torsional Shear Force ():
The load acts at an eccentricity from the CG of the bolt group. Moment .
The bolts are at and .
Radial distance for corner bolts: .
.
.
3.Resultant Force ():
The maximum force occurs on the bolts where the angle between and is minimum..
.The answer lies in the range 155 to 156.3.
