3. Two wooden members of 5.5" x 3.5" rectangular cross-section are joined as shown below (along the 20 degree plane). The maximum allowable stress in the joint is 100 psi in tension (perpendicular to the splice) and 80 psi in shear (parallel to the splice). What is the largest load, P, that can be applied?
