Summary

TLDRThis video script discusses a mechanics of materials problem involving a cotter pin holding two rods together. It calculates the smallest thickness of the pin and the diameter of the rods using steel's failure normal stress (500 MPa) and shear stress (375 MPa). A factor of safety of 2.5 for tension and 1.75 for shear is applied. The script derives the allowable normal stress (200 MPa) and diameter (13.8 mm), then calculates the allowable shear stress (214.29 MPa) and pin thickness (7 mm), providing a comprehensive solution.

  • What is the shear stress calculation based on?

    -The shear stress calculation is based on the failure shear stress divided by the factor of safety in shear.

  • What is the allowable shear stress?

    -The allowable shear stress is calculated to be 214.29 megapascals.

  • How is the thickness of the cotter pin determined?

    -The thickness of the cotter pin is determined using the formula for shear stress, which is shear force over the area, and solving for thickness.

  • What is the final answer for the thickness of the cotter pin in meters?

    -The final answer for the thickness of the cotter pin is 0.007 meters or 7 millimeters.
