1. An angle bracket having thickness t = 0.5 in. is attached to the flange of a column by two 5/8-inch diameter
bolts (see figure 1). A uniformly distributed load acts on the top face of the bracket with a pressure p = 300
psi. The top face of the bracket has length L = 6 in. and width b = 2.5 in. Determine the average bearing
pressure b between the angle bracket and the bolts and the average shear stress aver in the bolts. (Disregard
friction between the bracket and the column.)
2. The connection shown in the figure 2 consists of five steel plates, each 3/16 in. thick, joined by a single 1/4in. diameter bolt. The total load transferred between the plates is 1200 lb, distributed among the plates as
shown. (a) Calculate the largest shear stress in the bolt, disregarding friction between the plates.

A uniform bar AB of weight W = 25 N is supported by two springs, as shown in the figure 1. The spring on the left has stiffness k1
