Variables Used
Cross Sectional Area of Socket - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Sectional Area of Socket is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a socket is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Outside Diameter of Socket - (Measured in Meter) - Outside Diameter of Socket is the diameter (twice the radius) of the outer surface of the socket.
Diameter of Spigot - (Measured in Meter) - The diameter of Spigot is defined as the diameter of the external surface of the spigot or the inner diameter of the socket.
Thickness of Cotter - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Cotter is the measure of how much broad is the cotter in direction perpendicular to axial force.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Outside Diameter of Socket: 54 Millimeter --> 0.054 Meter (Check conversion ​here)

What is a cotter and when is it used?

Cotter is a flat wedge-shaped metal piece that is used to connect two rods that transmit the force but without rotation. The force may be axial and of tensile or compressive nature. Cotter is fitted in the tapered slot and remains in its position because of wedge action.
