Need part A and B
Consider a wooden frame shown in the figure below. The wood has a normal failure stress of \( \sigma_{\text {fail }}=6 \mathrm{ksi} \), and shear failure stress of \( \tau_{\text {fail }}=1.5 \mathrm{ksi} \). Suppose that \( P=9 \mathrm{kip} \) and the factor of safety against failure is 2 . (Figure 1)
Determine the required minimum thickness \( t \) of member \( A B \). Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate unit Part B Determine the required edge distance \( b \) of the frame. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Expert Answer
Given: Normal failure stress of wood, ?f = 6 ksi = 6000 psi Normal shear failure stress of wood, ????f = 1.5 ksi = 1500 psi Applied Load, P = 9 kip = 9000 lb Factor of safety, FOS = 2 Solution: Part A: Minimum thickness of memebr
