Question: A bracket attached to a fixed member by four identical bolts and weld, which experiences a fluctuating force which varies between 0 and 2 0

A bracket attached to a fixed member by four identical bolts and weld, which experiences a fluctuating force which varies between 0 and 20 N. Because of safety considerations, SAE class 8.8 steel bolts and a minimum safety factor of 3(based on proof strength) are to be used. Showing all relevant steps, determine an appropriate bolt diameter and required weld height h . Neglect friction forces between the bracket and fixed member. The allowable shear stress in the weld throat is 120 MPa .
Sut=600 MPa, Sy=500 MPa (welding material)
Sut=400 MPa, Sy=300 MPa (Bracket and fixed member)8
