6-33. Replace the distributed loading by an equivalent resultant force and specify
its location, measured horizontally from point A. Find the reactions at A and B.

∑ 𝑀𝐴 = 0 = (5 m)𝐵𝑦 − (2.06 m)(3.10 kN)

𝐵𝑦 = 𝟏. 𝟐𝟖 𝐤𝐍

∑ 𝐹𝑦 = 0 = 𝐴𝑦 − 𝐹𝑅 + 𝐵𝑦 = 𝐴𝑦 − 3.10 kN + 1.28 kN

𝐴𝑦 = 𝟏. 𝟖𝟐 𝐤𝐍

∑ 𝐹𝑥 = 0 = 𝐴𝑥

7–91. The piece of rubber is originally rectangular. Determine the average shear strain 𝛾𝑥𝑦 at A if
corners B and D are subjected to the displacements that cause the rubber to distort as shown by
the dashed lines.

*7–104. Determine the average punching shear stress

the circular shaft creates in the metal plate through
section AC and BD. Also, what is the bearing stress
developed on the surface of the plate under the shaft?

8–39. The 8-mm-diameter bolt is made of an aluminum alloy. It fits

through a magnesium sleeve that has an inner diameter of 12 mm and an
outer diameter of 20 mm. If the original lengths of the bolt and sleeve are
80 mm and 50 mm, respectively, determine the strains in the sleeve and
the bolt if the nut on the bolt is tightened so that the tension in the bolt is
8 kN. Assume the material at A is rigid. E al = 70 GPa, E mg = 45 GPa.
