Assignment # 02

This document contains an assignment with 4 questions regarding mechanics of solids. Question 1 involves determining the diameter of a connecting rod and shear stress in a pin for an equilibrium bell crank. Question 2 asks for the maximum safe load on a right-angle bar supported by a pin and roller. Question 3 involves calculating shear stress in rivets, bearing stress between plates and rivets, and tensile stress in plates of a lap joint. Question 4 determines the maximum load on a lap joint given allowable stress limits.

Mechanics of Solid-I
Assignment # 02

Q#01: The bell crank, which is in equilibrium under the forces shown in the figure, is supported
by a 20-mm-diameter pin at D that is in double shear. Determine (a) the required diameter of the
connecting rod AB, given that its tensile working stress is 100 MPa; and (b) the shear stress in
the pin.

Q#02: The right-angle bar is supported by a pin at B and a roller at C: What is the maximum safe
value of the load P that can be applied if the shear stress in the pin is limited to 20 000 psi? The
3=4-in.-diameter pin is in double shear.
Q#03: The lap joint is connected by three 20-mm-diameter rivets. Assuming that the axial load
P=50 kN is distributed equally among the three rivets, find (a) the shear stress in a rivet; (b) the
bearing stress between a plate and a rivet; and (c) the maximum average tensile stress in each
plate.

Q#04: Assume that the axial load P applied to the lap joint is distributed equally among the three
20-mm-diameter rivets. What is the maximum load P that can be applied if the allowable stresses
are 40 MPa for shear in rivets, 90 MPa for bearing between a plate and a rivet, and 120 MPa for
tension in the plates?
