Recall that shear flow q has units of force per unit length. The shear flow provided by the bolts is a function of both the allowable shear force per bolt and the longitudinal spacing s between bolts.

Here is Canvas object wihch demonstrate the problem.

The allowable shear force per bolt is the product of the allowable shear stress and the bolt cross-sectional area.
