Determine the width of the cotter used in cotter joint connecting two rods subjected to axial load of 50kN and permissible shear stress in cotter is 50N/(mm² ). Given thickness of cotter=10mm

Determine the width of the cotter used in cotter joint connecting two rods subjected to axial load of 50kN and permissible shear stress in cotter is 50N/(mm² ). Given thickness of cotter=10mm Correct Answer 5omm

Cotter is subjected to double shear hence width=P/(2*τ*t).
