2. Calculate the allowable load Pall for the bolted connection shown in Figure Q2. Given: the strength in tension and bearing is 210 MPa and the shear strength of the bolt at C is 140 MPa. Further, w = 50 mm, t = 6 mm, d = 12 mm and a Factor of Safety of 1.6 is used. Bar Figure Q2 B A 2.5 kN 7.5 kN D 25.1 kN E 9.45 kN 15.3 KN
