A load P is applied horizontally while the other end is fixed to a structure. A load P is applied horizontally while the other end is fixed to a structure. How many bolts are required to make the assembly safe? Use 8 mm bolts (M8-1.25) that yield at 0.5 MPa. (You must provide an answer before moving to the next part.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of bolt is 4.

Explanation:

Given that,

[tex]\tau = 0.5\ MPa[/tex]

distance = 8 mm

Suppose, Load P = 205 N

We need to calculate the shear area of bolt

Using formula of shear stress

[tex]\tau=\dfrac{P}{A}[/tex]

Here is double shear.

So, [tex]\tau[/tex] will be double.

[tex]A=\dfrac{P}{2\tau}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]A=\dfrac{205}{2\times0.5\times10^{6}}[/tex]

[tex]A=205\times10^{-6}\ m^2[/tex]

We need to calculate the area of one bolt

Using formula of area

[tex]A'=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]A'=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times(8\times10^{-3})^2[/tex]

[tex]A'=50.26\times10^{-6}\ m^2[/tex]

We need to calculate the number of bolt

Using formula of number of bolt

[tex]n=\dfrac{A}{A'}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]n=\dfrac{205\times10^{-6}}{50.26\times10^{-6}}[/tex]

[tex]n=4.0[/tex]

Hence, The number of bolt is 4.
