(a) Locate the center of resistance of the fas- tener pattern and then find the resultant shearing force on each fastener. Assume that both fasteners are the same size and type. (Hint: Balance the beam with reac- tive loads at the center of resistance of the fastener pattern and then distribute these forces separately to each fastener.) (b) Indicate these forces on a properly drawn free-body diagram of the beam. Also state whether the forces indicated represent plate or fastener forces.
