1.26 What force is required to punch a 20-mm-diameter hole in a plate that is 25 mm thick? The shear strength of the plate is 350
MN/m2.

1.27 A circular hole is to be punched in a plate that has a shear strength of 40ksi—see Fig. 1.11(c). The working compressive
stress for the punch is 50 ksi. (a)Compute the maximum thickness of a plate in which a hole 2.5 in. in diameter can be punched.
(b) If the plate is 0.25 in. thick, determine the diameter of the smallest hole that can be punched.

1.28 Find the smallest diameter bolt that can be used in the clevis in Fig. 1.11(b) if P = 400 kN. The working shear stress for the
bolt is 300 MPa.

1.29 Referring to Fig. 1.11(a), assume that the diameter of the rivet that joins the plates is d = 20 mm. The working stresses are
120 MPa for bearing in the plate and 60 MPa for shear in the rivet. Determine the minimum safe thickness of each plate.

1.30 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.

1.31 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?

1.32 A key prevents relative rotation between the shaft and the pulley. If the
torque T = 2200 N·m is applied to the shaft, determine the smallest safe dimension
b if the working shear stress for the key is 60 MPa.

1.33 The bracket is supported by 1=2-in.-diameter pins at A and B (the pin at B fits in the 45_ slot in the bracket). Neglecting
friction, determine the shear stresses in the pins, assuming single shear.

1.34 The 7=8-in.-diameter pins at A and C that support the structure are in single
shear. Find the largest force F that can be applied to the structure if the working shear stress for these pins is 5000 psi. Neglect
the weights of the members.

1.35 The uniform 2-Mg bar is supported by a smooth wall at A and by a pin at B that is in double shear. Determine the diameter
of the smallest pin that can be used if its working shear stress is 60 MPa.

1.36 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.

1.37 Compute the maximum force P that can be applied to the foot pedal. The 6-mm.-diameter pin at B is in single shear, and its
working shear stress is 28 MPa. The cable attached at C has a diameter of 3 mm. and a working normal stress of 140 MPa.

1.38 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.
1.39 The bar AB is supported by a frictionless inclined surface at A and a 7=8- in.-diameter pin at B that is in double shear.
Determine the shear stress in the pin when the vertical 2000-lb force is applied. Neglect the weight of the bar.

1.40 A joint is made by gluing two plywood gussets of thickness t to wood boards. The tensile working stresses are 1200 psi for
the plywood and 700 psi for the boards. The working shear stress for the glue is 50 psi. Determine the dimensions b and t so that
the joint is as strong as the boards.
