Q2: A beam is constructed from three boards bolted together as shown. Determine the shear force in each
bolt if the bolts are spaced 𝑠 = 250 mm apart and the shear is 𝑉 = 35 kN.
Q3: A 12.5-mm 1045 steel bar is being reduced to 7.5-mm diameter in a lathe turning operation in which the
axial feed force is 605 N and the tangential force is 1.6 kN, as indicated in the sketch. If the tool face is
located 75 mm from the collet which holds the workpiece, estimate the maximum shear stress existing in
the workpiece at the collet. Assume the point of contact of the tool to be at mid-depth of the cut.
Q4: The bent shaft is fixed in the wall at 𝐴. If a force F is applied at 𝐵, determine the stress components at
points 𝐷 and 𝐸. Show the results on a volume element located at each of these points. Take 𝐹 = 54 N
and 𝜃 = 45°.
