to one beam?

$10$ Points

Report the magnitude of the answer and with $3$ significant figures.

required $($it screws up grading on Gradescope$).$

What is the minimum number of nails you would need to install on each

side $($per beam$)$ to prevent direct shear of the nails?

Note: You can't install a fraction of a nail!A wooden beam needs to be elongated for a renovation project. An

extension is added by nailing $($no glue$)$ two wooden boards at the

connection joint. Nails go all the way through both boards and the

beam.

Given:

The nails have a diameter of $0\mathrm{.}238$ inches.

The shear strength of the nails is $65$ ksi $.$

The beams have an axial load of $40$ kips.
