A load of 15 kN is applied through a pin connection and a square bearing plate to the end of a beam that has a rectangular cross section. The base of the beam’s cross section is 70 mm and the height is 180 mm. The size of the bearing plate is 82 mm. Determine the bearing stress between the plate and the beam.
