A wood specimen was subjected to bending until failure by applying a load inthe middle of its span. The specimen has a cross section of 25 mm * 25 mm(actual dimensions) and a span of 350 mm between the simple supports. Theload and the deflection in the middle of the span were recorded as shown inTable P10.22.a. Using a computer spreadsheet program, plot the load–deflectionrelationship.b. Plot the proportional limit on the graph.c. Calculate the modulus of rupture (flexure strength).
Three wooden beams and two steel plates are securely bolted together to form the composite member shown. Using the data given in the table, determine the largest permissible bending moment when the member is bent about a horizontal axis. Take x = 6.5 in. Modulus of elasticity Allowable stress Wood 2 x 10° psi 2000 psi 2 in. 2 in. 2 in. Lin. X Steel 29 × 10° psi 22,000 psi The largest permissible bending moment when the member is bent about a horizontal axis is 134.770 kip-in.
In the figure below, a joint is made by gluing two plywood gussets of thickness t to wood boards. The tensile working stresses are 1245psi for the plywood and 725psi for the boards. The working shear stress for the glue is 52psi.   Determine the dimension b so that the joint is as strong as the boards.____________inches in 2 decimal places.
