I believe the solution for problem 56 in SMS MD is incorrect.
The problem is a 500 lbf load applied eccentrically to a plate with 4 bolts.
In the solution the horizontal and vertical shear stresses are reversed. Horizontal should be 2140 psi, and vertical 2570 psi.
The stress in the critical fastener comes out to be 3856 psi. Right between options C 3800 and D 3900.
Anyone confirm?
