Required information A bolted lap joint using ISO class \( 5.8 \) bolts and members made of cold-drawn SAE 1040 steel is shown in the figure. Assume the bolt threads do not extend into the joint. Find the tensile shear load F that can be applied to this connection to provide a minimum factor of safety of \( 2.5 \). The bolts are of size \( M 20 \times 2.5 \). NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. What is the maximum allowable force on the system? The maximum allowable force on the system is \( \mathrm{kN} \).
