When a bolt is in tension, the load on the nut is transmitted through the root area of the bolt which is smaller than the shank area. A bolt 24 mm in diameter (root area = 353 mm) carries a tensile load. Find the percentage error in the calculated value of the stress if the shank area is used instead of the root area.
