Help please :( - Flange Bolt coupling

Submitted by ladyaira0107@g… on

A flanged bolt coupling consists of two concentric bolt circles. One bolt circle consists of six 0.5-in-diameter steel bolts on a circle 9 inches in diameter and the other consists of eight 0.5-in-diameter steel bolts on a circle 12 inches in diameter. What is the shearing stress in the bolts if a torque of 7 kip-ft is to be carried by the assembly?
