Appreciate if someone can check my answers to the following question:
A beam hinged at one end and simply supported at the other is subjected to the loading shown. A design calculation is required to determine the suitable size of hinge pin. If wrong, could you point me in the right direction.
Data Shear strength of pin material = 20 MN/m^2
Factor of safety = 5
Drawing of system can be found here:

b) My answer 4 MN/m^2
c) My answer = 16 mm
