rivets and plate are made of steel. The permissible stresses in tension, shear and compression are 80,60 and 120 N/mm 2
respectively. Determine the diameter of rivet by using the following empirical relationship d =6 √ t where ‘t’ is the plate
thickness. Determine the number of rivets by equating the strength of the plate by strength of the rivets. Assume shear resistance

plain carbon steel (σy =380 MPa) and FS is 4. Find the diameter of the shaft of motor and pump.

2) It is required to design a square key for fixing a gear on a shaft of 25 mm diameter. The shaft is transmitting 15 KW power at
720 rpm to the gear. The key is made of steel (σy = 460 MPa) and the factor of safety is 3. For key assume yield strength in
tension is equal to yield strength in compression. Determine the dimensions of the key.
3) In a bolted assembly of components initially the nut is tightened by means of a spanner so as to induce a pre load of 2.5 KN.
