SUMMARY
The tensile stress in the bolted connection for a load of 210 kN has been calculated using a safety factor of 2. Given the yield strength of the plate material at 270 MPa and a plate thickness of 12 mm, the analysis confirms that the plates will not fail under the specified conditions. The nominal diameter of the bolts is 10 mm, with clearance holes drilled at 10.5 mm. This analysis adheres to the requirements set forth by the forum's homework submission guidelines.
