A cotter joint is used when no relative motion is permitted between the rods joined by the cotter. It is capable of transmitting
A. Twisting Moment
B. An axial tensile as well as compressive load
C. The bending moment
D. Only compressive axial load
Answer:B
A cotter joint is used when no relative motion is permitted between the rods joined by the cotter. It is capable of transmitting
A. Twisting Moment B. An axial tensile as well as compressive load C. The bending moment D. Only compressive axial load
Explanation: A cotter is a flat wedge shaped piece of steel. This is used to connect rigidly two rods which transmit motion in the axial direction, without rotation. These joints may be subjected to tensile or compressive forces along the axes of the rods
