$7\mathrm{.}3-2$ The tension member shown in Figure P$7\mathrm{.}3-2$ is a PL $\frac{1}{2}\frac{5^1}{2}$ of A$36$ steel. It is con$-$

nected to a $\frac{3}{8}-$inch$-$thick gusset plate $($also A$36$ steel$)$ with $\frac{3}{4}-$inch$-$diameter bolts.

a$.$ Check all spacing and edge$-$distance requirements.

b$.$ Compute the nominal strength in bearing.

c$.$do the LRFD part only
