  1. A horizontal plate has been joined to a vertical to a vertical post using four rivets arranged as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the load on the worst loaded rivet (in N) is _______.
    1. 1758.83 N
    2. 1625.83 N
    3. 1839.83 N
    4. 1436.89 N
Correct Option: C

Primary force (P1) = 100 N

P"1 = P"2 = P"3 = P"4 =
Pe × r
4r²

= 400 × 500 ×
40√2
2
4 ×
40√2
2

= P"1 = 1767.766N
1 & 4 are worst loaded
∴ (Pnet)² = (P1)² + (P"2)² + 2(P1)(P"1) cos 45°
Pnet = 1839.83 N
