The beam is constructed from two boards fastened together at the top and bottom with three rows of nails spaced every 4 in. If a shear force of $V=900$ lb is applied to the boards, determine the shear force resisted by each nail.
The beam is constructed from three boards. If it is subjected to a shear of $V=5$ kip, determine the maximum allowable spacing $s$ of the nails used to hold the top and bottom flanges to the web. Each nail can support a shear force of $500 \mathrm{lb}$
Two metal beams are joined together by four rivets, as the drawing indicates. Each rivet has a radius of $5.0 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{m}$ and is to be exposed to a shearing stress of no more than $5.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{Pa}$ . What is the maximum tension $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}}$ that can be applied to each beam, assuming that each rivet carries one-fourth of the total load?
