5.8-9 A laminated wood beam on simple sup- ports (figure part a) is built up by gluing together four 2 in. × 4 in. boards (actual dimensions) to form a solid beam 4 in. X 8 in. in cross section, as shown in the fig- ure part b. The allowable shear stress in the glued joints is 62 psi, the allowable shear stress in the wood is 175 psi, and the allowable bending stress in the wood is 1650 psi.

5.8-9 A laminated wood beam on simple sup-
ports (figure part a) is built up by gluing together four
2 in. X 4 in. boards (actual dimensions) to form a solid
beam 4 in. X 8 in. in cross section, as shown in the fig-
ure part b. The allowable shear stress in the glued joints
is 62 psi, the allowable shear stress in the wood is 175 psi,
and the allowable bending stress in the wood is 1650 psi.
(a) If the beam is 12 ft long, what is the allowable
load P acting at the one-third point along the
beam, as shown? (Include the effects of the
beam's own weight, assuming that the wood
weighs 35 lb/ft³.)
