A 5/8 - 18 UNF grade 5 bolt is used to mount a lifting bracket to a wind tower generator. If the bolt
is tightened to a final torque to 78.38 ft lb when the bracket is attached to the generator, with what
clamping force "Fclamp" does the bolt "press" the bracket to the generator? Use μ = μc = 0.15 and de
= 1.5d (i.e. the "collar diameter" is 1.5 times the major diameter of the bolt).
Ans. Fclamp = 7200 lb
