Question

ILLUSTRATION 7.5
Two metal beams are joined
together by four rivets, as the
drawing indicates. Each rivet has
a radius of 5.0 x 10 m and is to
be exposed to a shearing stress of
no more than 5.0 * 108 Pa. What is
the maximum tension that can
be applied to each beam, assuming
that each rivet carries one-fourth of
the total load?​
