Chapter 1 Problem 1-73

Question

The steel swivel bushing in the elevator control of an airplane is held in place using a nut and washer as shown in Fig. (a). Failure of the washer A can cause the push rod to separate as shown in Fig. (b). If the maximum average shear stress is \(\tau_{\max }=21\ \mathrm{ksi}\), determine the force F that must be applied to the bushing. The washer is \(\frac{1}{16}\) in. thick.

Solution

Step 1 of 3

Calculate the cross-sectional area of the washer.

\(\mathrm{A}=2 \pi r t\)

Here, t is the thickness of the washer, and r is the radius of the washer.
