Question: Two 1 2 m m thick and 2 2 5 m m wide pieces of wood were joined by the joint shown in the figure.

Two 12mm thick and 225mm wide pieces of wood
were joined by the joint shown in the figure. Since
it is known that the joint collapses due to shearing
when the average shear stress in the direction of
the wood fibers reaches 8MPa, calculate the
magnitude of the axial force P applied at the
moment of collapse. (Answer: 9.22kN)
