1. A circular piece of wood, 90mm in diameter, is used as a compression block. Determine the axial force F that can be safely applied to the block if the compressive stress in wood is limited to 20MPA and the shearing stress parallel to the grain is limited to 5MPA. The grain makes an angle of 15* with the vertical.
