Question
The box beam is constructed from four boards that are fastened together using nails spaced along the beam every 2 in. If a force $P=2$ kip is applied to the beam, determine the shear force resisted by each nail at $A$ and $B$.

The box beam is constructed from four boards that are fastened together using nails spaced along the beam every 2 in. If each nail can resist a shear force of $50 \mathrm{lb}$, determine the largest force $P$ that can be applied to the beam without causing failure of the nails.
The beam is fabricated from four boards nailed together as shown. Determine the shear force each nail along the sides $C$ and the top $D$ must resist if the nails are uniformly spaced at $s=3$ in. The beam is subjected to a shear of $V=4.5$ kip.
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.
