Bolt tension on a cantilever beam?
New here - so hi to all.
I have a cantilever beam that's 650mm long that has a mass of 100kg suspended from it. At the fixed end of the beam there is a plate that is bolted in place by 4 bolts. The top 2 bolts are in tension and I'm trying to work out the approximate force/ tension these bolts would see. The bolt centres are above the neutral axis by 75mm.
It's been a long time since doing calcs and I can't remember the equation(s) for this.
Any help appreciated.
Pete.
