Question # 6
Please refer to the figure below. A load P is supported by a steel pin that has been inserted in a wooden member hanging from a ceiling. Note that c is the vertical distance from the base of the wooden block to the center of the pin. The yield stress of wood is 65 MPa in tension, 10MPa in shear, and 70MPa in bearing, while the yield stress of steel is 110MPa in shear. Take b=50mm,c=80mm, and d=20mm. Considering all possible failure mechanisms (wherever appropriate), determine the allowable load P, if a factor of safety of at least 2.0 is required for both steel pin and wood member.
