Question

Two Strips of metal are riveted together at their end by four rivets, each of diameter 6.0 mm. What is the maximum tension that can be exerted by the riveted strip if the shearing stress on the rivet is not to exceed 6.9 × 10⁷ Pa? Assume that each rivet is to carry one quarter of the load.

Answer 1

solution:-

Given,

Diameter of the strip =6.0mm = 6.0×10^-3m
r = d/2

r= 6.0×10^-3= 3×10^-3m

maximum shearing stress =6.9 ×10^7 Pascale

maximum stress = minimum force / area

maximum force = maximum stress × area

= 6.9 ×10^7 ×π×r^2

= 6.9 × 10^6×π× (3×10^-3)^2

= 1949.94 N.

maximum force on each rivet = 4×1949.94 N

=> 7799.76 N
