A bolted connection between a vertical column and adiagonal brace is shown in the figure below. Theconnection consists of three 5/8-in. bolts that join two 1/4-in.end plates welded to the brace and a 5/8-in. gusset platewelded to the column. The compressive load P carried bythe brace equals 8.0k.Determine the following quantities: (a) The averageshear stress τavein the bolts, and (b) the average bearingstress σbbetween the gusset plate and the bolts. (Disregardfriction between the plates.)
