Question

Problem 2: A beam is constructed by nailing together planks in the configuration shown below. If the maximum shear force that the nails can transfer is 1 kN, and the nails are all spaced 15 cm apart along the length of the beam, what is the maximum vertical shear force that the beam can hold? Assume l=30 cm, w=15 cm, and the thickness of all the planks is 2 cm.

Step 1

The nails are spaced 15 cm apart. The length of the beam is 30 cm. The number of nails along the length of the beam is $\frac{30}{15} = 2$. The total number of nails is $2 \times 2 = 4$ (2 nails on the top and 2 nails on the bottom). The total shear force that the Show more…
