To determine the shear stress produced in the 11-mm diameter pin, first draw a FBD that cuts through the pin. By inspection, the force in the pin must equal the internal force F1 in the copper bar.
For this FBD, the pin is in single shear; therefore, the area subjected to shear stress is simply the cross-sectional area of the pin (95.03 mm2).
The shear stress can be calculated as:
