Solution Summary

The solution provides a short discussion to back up the calculations performed to find the force that must be applied to two metal plates to shear off the rivets that hold them together.

Solution Preview

The sheer modulus is given by S = F/A divided by tan phi for the deformation of the body due to the force. For no deformation this becomes S=F/A.
