The timber beam has a width of 6 in. Determine its height \(h\) so that it simultaneously reaches an allowable bending stress of \(\sigma_{\text {allow }}=1.50 \mathrm{ksi}\) and an allowable shear stress of \(\tau_{\text {allow }}=50\) psi. What is the maximum load \(P\) that the beam can then support?
