I might be missing something here but in the solution for #530 they treat the steel plate and the bolt as springs in parallel. Unless I am looking at the problem wrong, the pressure pushes on the plate and then the plate pushes on the bolts. This seems more like a series spring analysis and all of the force on the plate would then be transfered to the bolt. Oh this is the 2008 version of the practice exam by the way.
thanks
Can someone tell me what I am missing here?
