Thickness of Cotter given Shear Stress in Cotter Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Cotter = (Load on Cotter Joint)/(2*Shear Stress in Cotter*Mean Width of Cotter)
t_c = (L)/(2*τ_co*b)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Load on Cotter Joint - (Measured in Newton) - Load on cotter joint is basically the amount of load/force any part or joint, can bear or is acted upon or exerts.
Shear Stress in Cotter - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Stress in Cotter is the amount of stress (cause deformation by slippage along a plane parallel to the imposed stress) generated into the cotter due to the shear force acting on it.
Mean Width of Cotter - (Measured in Meter) - The mean Width of Cotter is defined as the average width of the cotter of a cotter joint.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Load on Cotter Joint: 50000 Newton --> 50000 Newton No Conversion Required
Shear Stress in Cotter: 24 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 24000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Mean Width of Cotter: 48.5 Millimeter --> 0.0485 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_c = (L)/(2*τ_co*b) --> (50000)/(2*24000000*0.0485)

Evaluating ... ...

t_c = 0.0214776632302405

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0214776632302405 Meter -->21.4776632302405 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

21.4776632302405 ≈ 21.47766 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Cotter
