Problem $3.$ For the bolted joint arrangement shown in the diagram below, use a given factor of safety guarding against joint separation, to determine the maximum allowable value of $\backslash ($ P $\backslash )($external load$)$ in kN $($rounded to two decimal places$).$

The parameters whose values are given:

$-$ Factor of safety guarding against joint separation, $\backslash ($ n$\_\{$f o s$\}\backslash ),$ is $2\mathrm{.}50.$

$-$ The fraction of external load carried by the bolt, $\backslash ($ C $\backslash ),$ is $0\mathrm{.}272.$

$-$ The preload in the bolt, $\backslash ($ F$\_\{$i$\}\backslash ),$ is $45\mathrm{.}0$ kN $.$
