A wood structure is assembled to support the force applied. All pieces of wood have a width of 5 in. The normal failure stress of the wood is fail = 6000 psi. The shear failure stress of the wood is T fail = 2500 psi. The factor of safety against failure is 5. Hint: 1. Analyze the whole structure first to find the normal forces in members AB and AC

Hint:
A wood structure is assembled to support the force applied.
All pieces of wood have a width of 5 in. The normal failure
stress of the wood is o fail = 6000 psi. The shear failure stress
of the wood is T fail = 2500 psi. The factor of safety against
failure is 5.
