If bending stress in a screw is of magnitude 95N/mm² and torsional shear stress of magnitude 15N/mm², then what is the principal shear stress?
(a) 48.7N/mm²
(b) 54.3 N/mm²
(c) 51.4 N/mm²
(d) 49.8 N/mm²
This query came up by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.
This important question is from the Power Screws Numericals topic in chapter Threaded Joints of Machine Design
