The load P applied to a steel rod isdistributed to a timber support by an annular washer. The diameterof the rod is 22 mm and the inner diameterof the washer is 25 mm,which is slightly larger than the diameter of the hole. Determinethe smallest allowable outer diameter d of the washer,knowing thatthe axial normal stress in the steel rod is 35 MPa andthat the average bearing stress between the washer and the timbermust not exceed 5 MPa.
