Determine the shortest distance d to the edge of the plate at which the force P can be applied so that it produces no compressive stresses in the plate at section a–a. The plate has a thickness of 10 mm and P acts along the centerline of this thickness.

Downvote for incorrect answer The connection is made using a bolt and nut and two washers. If the allowable bearing stress of the washers on the boards is (b)allow 2 ksi, and the allowable tensile stress within the bolt shank S is (allow 18 ksi, determine the maximum = allowable tension in the bolt shank. The bolt shank has a diameter of 0.31 in., and the washers have an outer diameter of 0.75 in. and inner diameter (hole) of 0.50 in.

1. The pictured link acts as a part of the elevator control for a small airplane. If the attached aluminum tube has an inner diameter of 25 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm, determine the shear stress in the outer and inner surfaces of the tube when a cable force of 600 N is applied to the cables. Also, sketch the shear-stress distribution over the cross-section.
