    Resultant load on   P = Fsec – Fprim
    = 20 – 2 = 18 kN

    ∴    Stress =
    18 × 10³
    = 159 MPa
    (π/4)(12)²

    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

  1. A carpenter glues a pair of cylindrical wooden logs by bonding their end faces at an angle of θ = 30° as shown in the figure.

    The glue used at the interface fails if
    Criterion 1: the maximum normal stress exceeds 2.5 MPa
    Criterion 2: the maximum shear stress exceeds 1.5 MPa
    Assume that the interface fails before the logs fail. When a uniform tensile stress of 4 MPa is applied, the interface
