When the pitch is p, rivet hole diameter is d, and the thickness of the plate is t, then what will be the area that resists the tensile force?

When the pitch is p, rivet hole diameter is d, and the thickness of the plate is t, then what will be the area that resists the tensile force? Correct Answer

If p is the pitch, and d is the diameter of rivet, then the distance between two adjacent rivet ends will be, (p-d). Then the area that resists the tensile force will be thickness times the (p-d), that is (p-d)t.
