Tension member connected to Gusset plate(fail in Rupture/Fracture or yield?)

Hi,
A tension member - a rectangular plate of dimension 1/2"*8" connected with two rows of bolts, determine the bolt size so that the tension member fails in rupture but not yield. Steel of grade A36 grade is used.
It must be kept in mind that the capacity factors are different for the rupture and yield, its lower for finding the rupture capacity, the section where bolts are inserted into the member are considered critical. Solution is written in the image shown below.

Solved - Moment of Inertia- Spoked Wheel with inner and outer Ring.

Hi,
I was stuck at this problem of finding the mass moment of inertia of a spoked wheel/ring, which is necessary to find out the angular acceleration or the kinetic energy of the wheel.

It's easy to determine the moment of inertia of a spoked wheel with the given weights of the outer rim/ring, inner rim/ring and weight of spokes. The moment of inertia about the centroid and an axis parallel to the centroidal axis can also be easily found. Please refer the image below for knowing the process.
