    Let F1 and F2 resist the 4 kN eccentric load. The primary shear load is due to a direct shear stress of 4kN, which is equally divided amongst the two bolts, i.e. 2 k N,
    ∴  Fprimary on P = 2 kN

    The secondar y load is t o r esist t he moment produced by the eccentric load 4 kN about the C. G. of the joint
    Moment   M = 4 kN × 2000 mm
          = 8000 Nm
    Now this moment must be balanced by a moment pr oduced by equal and opposite forces i .e. secondary loads on the bolts
    i .e.     F × 400 = 800 Nm
    ⇒  F = 20 kN
