A steel plate is to be attached to a support with three bolts. The cross-sectional area of the plate is 800 mm² and the yield strength of the steel is 260 MPa. The ultimate shear strength of the bolts is 570 MPa. A factor of safety of 1.67 with respect to yield is required for the plate. A factor of safety of 4.0 with respect to the ultimate shear strength is required for the bolts. Determine the minimum bolt diameter required to develop the full strength of the plate. Note: consider only the gross cross-sectional area of the plate-not the net area. Support

A steel plate is to be attached to a support with three bolts. The cross-sectional area of the plate is 800 mm² and the
yield strength of the steel is 260 MPa. The ultimate shear strength of the bolts is 570 MPa. A factor of safety of 1.67
with respect to yield is required for the plate. A factor of safety of 4.0 with respect to the ultimate shear strength is
required for the bolts. Determine the minimum bolt diameter required to develop the full strength of the plate.
Note: consider only the gross cross-sectional area of the plate-not the net area.
