The lap joint as shown in the figure is fastened by four % in diameter rivets. Calculate the maximum safe load P that can be applied if the shearing stress in the rivets is limited to 14 ksi and the bearing stress in the plate is limited to 18 ksi. Assume applied load is uniformly distributed among the four rivets.
