The tension and shear force (both in kN) in each bolt of the joint, as shown below, respectively are [Diagram of a bolted joint with an inclined member carrying P_u = 250 kN; the member inclination is indicated by a 3-4-5 triangle.]

1. 30.33 and 20.00
2. 30.33 and 25.00
3. 33.33 and 20.00
4. 33.33 and 25.00

Correct answer: 33.33 and 25.00

Solution

The correct option is right because the tension in each bolt is calculated based on the vertical component of the applied load, while the shear force is derived from the horizontal component, both of which are influenced by the geometry of the inclined member.
