Three steel bolts were used to attach a steel plate to a wooden beam. The plate is designed to support a 24 kip (24,000 lb) load and the ultimate shearing stress for the steel is 52 ksi. If the bolts have a ¾ in. diameter shaft, what was the factor of safety used in the design? Assume that the 24 kips load is distributed evenly among the three bolts. 24 kips
