Compound lever shears cut through a piece of wire at
A(see the figure below).
?(a) By using the free body diagram of handle
CD, determine the magnitude of the force (in
N) at rivet
D.
?Your response differs from the correct answer by more than
10%. Double check your calculations. N (b) Referring to the magnified cross-sectional drawing of the connection at
D, determine the shear stress (in MPa) in the rive
?Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. MPa (c) If the rivet is formed from
4340-HRsteel alloy, what is the factor of safety
n?
n=Your response differs from the correct answer by more than
10%. Double check your calculations.
