Solution to Problem 129 Bearing Stress

Problem 129
A 7/8-in.-diameter bolt, having a diameter at the root of the threads of 0.731 in.,
is used to fasten two timbers together as shown in Fig. P-129. The nut is tightened
to cause a tensile stress of 18 ksi in the bolt. Compute the shearing stress in the
head of the bolt and in the threads. Also, determine the outside diameter of the
washers if their inside diameter is 9/8 in. and the bearing stress is limited to 800
psi.

Summary of the problem

Given:
Diameter of bolt = 7/8 inch
Diameter at the root of the thread (bolt) = 0.731 inch
Inside diameter of washer = 9/8 inch
Tensile stress in the nut = 18 ksi
Bearing stress = 800 psi

Required:
Shearing stress in the head of the bolt
Shearing stress in threads of the bolt
Outside diameter of the washer

Jhonel Apple Al...

Hello, why you are using "π d t" to find the Area? why not πd^2/4?
Thank You So Much :)

Bakit po nakamultiply by 1000 yung 10.82kips? Hindi po ba dapat nakadivide?
