Tearing resistance required to tear off the plate per pitch length is (where p = Pitch of rivets, d = Dia. of rivet hole and $${\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$ = Permissible tensile stress for plate material)

Tearing resistance required to tear off the plate per pitch length is (where p = Pitch of rivets, d = Dia. of rivet hole and $${\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$ = Permissible tensile stress for plate material) Correct Answer $$\left( {{\text{p}} - {\text{d}}} \right){\text{t}}{\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$
