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.

After we compute the shear force that the bolts can supply, we then determine the longitudinal spacing s required to provide the necessary shear flow.
