A wall bracket is attached to the wall by means of 2 identical bolts, one at A and one at B. The force of 20kN acts at a distance of 400mm. Bolt A lies at a distance of 50mm from axis of tilt and bolt B 500mm. Allowable shear stress in the bolts is 100N/mm² and tensile is 40N/mm². Determine the size of bolts using maximum shear stress theory.

Determine the size of bolts using maximum shear stress theory. Correct Answer 9mm

Considerig bolt B as a criterion, τ(max)= √(σ/2)²+ τ² where σ=7920.8/A and τ=20000/4A or 4 x 6378.5/πd²=100.
