Determine the maximum force $P$ the connection can support so that no slipping occurs between the plates shown in $($Figure $1).$ There are four bolts used for the connection and each is tightened so that it is subjected to a tension of $4\mathrm{.}6$ kN $.$ The coefficient of static friction between the plates is ${}_s=0\mathrm{.}34.$
