Static failure analysis of a pin

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the static failure analysis of a pin where a hook attaches to an arm. Participants debate the presence of shear and torque at the pin's location, with one contributor asserting that torque is zero due to the hook's ability to rotate around the pin. The analysis emphasizes the importance of understanding the mechanics involved in the attachment point to ensure structural integrity.

So i am confused on how to do the analysis on the pin where the hook attaches to the arm.

would their be a shear and a torque at that point?

Based on this photo, it appears that the hook is allowed to rotate, with the pin serving as an axis. IMO, torque = 0.
