Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 9
To calculate the shearing and bearing stress at bolt C,we need to first estimate the reaction forces at point C.Apart from point C,there will be two reaction components at point A.First we will consider the free body diagram of the entire structure(figure 1) and then take moments about point C to calculate unknown reactions at A.Then we can take sum of forces in horizontal and vertical directions equal to zero and estimate the reaction force at point C.
