I think answer is D. Because here clamp material is rigid plate, it means bolt is more yielding than Plate so in the case of that we should take only initial force as a whole.

As separating force is also acting on the nut, given answer is right.

If we consider that the axis of nut bolt is vertical then as we apply to separate force the weight of lower plate acts on the bolt which in turn acts on the bolt. So, the given answer is right.

D is the right answer. Because FORCE "F" given (F>p) not ask NET force ask present tension.

EXAMPLE if we apply 100 Newton force present in body and we apply 10 total force in 100 present also in question (not ask NET 100-10=90, it also wrong) it ask present force or tension so 100 where 100>10,

If questions like 100 present and we apply 200 here apply force 200>100 present force so here tension 200-100=100 is right.

Thanks, Have a Good day.

I think the answer should be A as F and P are acting in opposite direction and tension will act in direction of P. Hence it should be T + P - F = 0 which gives T as F - P.

How? I think that should be B.
