A beam of a T cross section is formed by nailing together two boards having the dimensions shown in the figure.
240 mm
60 mm
|C
200 mm
60 mm
If the total shear force V acting on the cross section is 1,600 N and each nail may carry 520 N in shear, what is the
maximum allowable nail spacing s (in mm)? (Assume that the shear force acts parallel to the y-axis and is uniformly
distributed across the thickness of the web.)
