A lap joint is constructed as shown above with 2 rivets holding together the 5 plates shown. Determine the required diameter, dreq, to the nearest 1/8", of each rivet if the stack of plates is in equilibrium. Take P= 1.50= 1000 lb and assume that the rivets are manufactured from 2014-T6 aluminum. Also take the thickness of each plate to be ". Make sure and draw a free body diagram of the entire bolt, as well as the section free body diagram you use to determine the average shear stress in the bolt.
