A flange of radius 200mm is fastened to the machine screw by means of four cap screws of pitch circle radius 150mm. The external force P is 20kN which is loaded at 160mm from the machine screw. There are two dowel pins to take shear load. Determine the core diameter of cap screw if permissible tensile stress in cap screw is 40N/mm².

(a) None of the listed

(b) 11.21mm

(c) 12.33mm

(d) 14.12mm

The question was asked while doing exercises.

I found this problem in the Eccentric Load on Circular Base section in lesson Threaded Joints of Machine Design

The correct choice is (c) 12.33mm

To elaborate: Maximum tensile force=4777.6N or πd² x σ/4=4777.6N.
