Question
Please help. This problem involves finding the required diameter of support pins given the allowable shear stress. Thank you.

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
Determine the required diameter of the pins at points \( A \) and \( B \) if the allowable shear stress for the material is \(\tau_{\text{allow}} = 100 \, \text{MPa}\). Both pins are subjected to double shear.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a curved beam supported by pins at points \( A \) and \( B \). There is a distributed load of \( 2 \, \text{kN/m} \) applied along a horizontal beam section connecting points \( A \) and \( B \). The radius of the curved beam from the center of curvature at point \( C \) to the load is \( 3 \, \text{m} \).
**Details:**
- **Distributed Load:** A uniformly distributed load of \( 2 \, \text{kN/m} \) acts horizontally between \( A \) and \( B \).
- **Geometry:** The structure includes two important radii and distances:
- Distance from \( A \) to \( B \) is horizontal.
- Radius of curvature from \( C \) to the beam is \( 3 \, \text{m} \).
Note: The task is to find the diameters of the pins capable of withstanding the given shear stress, considering they are in double shear.
