A steel plate, connected to a fixed channel using three identical bolts $$A, B$$ and $$C,$$ carries a load of $$6kN$$ as shown in the figure. Considering the effect of direct load and moment, the magnitude of resultant shear force (in $$kN$$) on bolt $$C$$ is.

The principal stresses at a point in a critical section of a machine component are $${\sigma _1} = 60\,\,MPa,\,\,{\sigma _2} = 5\,\,MPa$$ and $${\sigma _3} = - 40\,\,MPa.$$ For the material of the component, the tensile yield strength is $${\sigma _y} = 200\,\,MPa.$$ According to the maximum shear stress theory, the factor of safety is

It is desired to make a product having T-shaped cross - section from a rectangular aluminium block. Which one of the following processes is expected to provide the highest strength of the product?

A strip of $$120mm$$ width and $$8mm$$ thickness is rolled between two $$300$$ $$mm$$-diameter rolls to get a strip of $$120mm$$ width and $$7.2mm$$ thickness. The speed of the strip at the exit is $$30m/min.$$ There is no front or back tension. Assuming uniform roll pressure of $$200$$ $$MPa$$ in the roll bite and $$100\% $$ mechanical efficiency, the minimum total power (in $$kW$$) required to drive the two rolls is ____________________
