A 600-lb force acts on the vertical plate, which in turn is connected to the horizontal truss
Question:
A 600-lb force acts on the vertical plate, which in turn is connected to the horizontal truss by five 3/16 -in.-diameter rivets (Figure P5.21).
(a) If the rivets share the load equally, determine the shear stress in them.
(b) In a worst-case scenario, four of the rivets have corroded, and the load is carried by only one rivet. What is the shear stress in this case?
