A steel angle 100x75x10 is used as tension member with longer leg connected to a 10 mm gusset plate. The connection is made with the help of lug angle. If rivet diameter is 20mm, permissible shear and bending stresses in rivet are 100MPa and 300MPa respectively, what should be the nominal diameter?
