No of rivets = force / rivet value.
= 700/35.
= 20.

Rivet value is defined as the minimum value of shearing strength or (capacity) and bearing strength of a rivet.

MUHAMMAD NABI said:   3 years ago
The number of rivers required = force/Rivit value.

Rivit value = min value of shearing, bearing and tearing.

So,

700/35= 20.
