Consider the following two statements:
• What size SAE grade 5 bolt should be used to fasten together two pieces of
1045 sheet steel, each 4 mm thick and 6 cm wide, which are lapped over each
other and loaded with 100 N?
• Design a joint to fasten together two pieces of 1045 sheet steel, each 4 mm
thick and 6 cm wide, which are lapped over each other and loaded with 100 N.
(a) Explain the difference between the two statements.
(b) Change a problem from one of your engineering science/physics classes
into a design problem.
