Question

The T-beam is constructed as shown. If the nails can each support a shear force of $950 \mathrm{lb}$, determine the maximum shear force $V$ that the beam can support and the corresponding maximum nail spacing $s$ to the nearest $\frac{1}{8}$ in. The allowable shear stress for the wood is $\tau_{\text {allow }}=450 \mathrm{psi}$.

the-beam-is-constructed-from-three-boards-determine-the-maximum-shear-v-that-it-can-support-if-the-a

The beam is constructed from three boards. Determine the maximum shear $V$ that it can support if the allowable shear stress for the wood is $\tau_{\text {allow }}=400$ psi. What is the maximum allowable spacing $s$ of the nails if each nail can resist a shear force of $400 \mathrm{lb} ?$

00:01 So today we're told that we have a constructed t -beam with nails that can support a shear force of 950 pounds.
00:07 And we're asked to find the maximum shear force that the t -beam can support and the corresponding maximum nail spacing.
00:14 All right.
00:15 And so we're also told that the allowable shear stress is 450 psi...
