The diagram shows two plates held together by a 10 mm bolt (which can be assumed to

have an effective diameter of 9.5 mm. The bolt is tensioned to 20 kN and subjected to a

shearing force by the plates of 10 kN. The ultimate tensile strength of the bolt material is

500 MN/m² and the ultimate shear strength is 300 MN/m².
