Homework Statement
(a) By using either the vector algebra or polygon methods for finding a
resultant, determine the magnitude of F that will cause the net effect of
the three forces to act vertically.
(b) For that value of F, determine the stress in the bolt’s 1-cm diameter
straight shank.
Homework Equations
?
The Attempt at a Solution
I have found that the sum of the vertical forces are 791.75 N. But I don't know how to calculate the tensile stress in a bolt, is there a special equation to find the area? (sorry I'm new at mechanical engineering :) )
By the way the answers are: (a) 568.46 N, (b) 10.08 MPa
