PROBLEM 5.19

• The small steel plate is connected to the right-angle

bracket by a 10 mm diameter bolt. Determine the
tensile stress at point A in the plate and the shear
stress in the bolt.
 PROBLEM 5.20

• A 600 lb force acts on the vertical plate,

which in turn is connected to the
horizontal truss by five 16 3 in. diameter
rivets.
• (a) If the rivets share the load equally,
determine the shear stress in them.
• (b) In a worst-case scenario, four of the
rivets have corroded, and the load is carried
by only one rivet. What is the shear stress in
this case?

PROBLEM 4.5

A hydraulic-lift truck carries a shipping container on the

inclined loading ramp in a warehouse (Figure P4.5). The 12
kN and 2 kN forces act on a rear tire as shown in the
directions perpendicular and parallel to the ramp.
(a) Express the resultant of those two forces as a vector using
the unit vectors i and j.
(b) Determine the magnitude of the resultant and its angle
relative to the incline.

PROBLEM 5.13

• The steel bolt and anchor assembly is used to reinforce the roof of a passageway in an
underground coal mine (Figure P5.13, see page 218). In installation, the bolt is
tensioned to 5000 lb. Calculate the stress, strain, and extension of the bolt if it is
formed from 1045 steel alloy.
