Q10. A double cover butt riveted joint is used to connect two flat of 200 mm width
and 14 mm thickness as shown in the figure. There are twelve power driven rivets
of 20 mm diameter at a pitch of 50 mm in both directions on either side of the
plate. Two cover plates of 10 mm thickness are used. The capacity of the joint in
tension considering bearing and shear ONLY, with permissible bearing and shear
stresses as 300 MPa and 100 MPa respectively is
