### Direct Shear Stress Calculation

**Problem Statement:**

For the direct shear example shown below, if \( F = 47 \, \text{kN} \), \( A_{AB} = A_{CD} = 3151 \, \text{mm}^2 \), the average shear stress in the internal vertical surface AB (or CD), \( \tau = \_\_\_\_\_\ \text{MPa} \).

Calculate your answer to 1 decimal place.

---

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image shows a diagram of a 3D block structure consisting of two rectangular prisms labeled A, B, and C, with a force labeled \( F \) acting downwards on the top surface between points A and C. The force is causing a direct shear stress on the vertical internal surfaces labeled AB (or CD).

**Solution:**

To calculate the average shear stress (\( \tau \)):

1. Use the formula for shear stress:
   \[
   \tau = \frac{F}{A}
   \]
   where \( F \) is the force applied and \( A \) is the area over which the force is applied.

2. With given values:
   - \( F = 47 \, \text{kN} = 47000 \, \text{N} \)
   - \( A = 3151 \, \text{mm}^2 = 0.003151 \, \text{m}^2 \)

3. Substitute the values:
   \[
   \tau = \frac{47000}{0.003151} = 14916.22 \, \text{Pa} = 14.9 \, \text{MPa}
   \]

4. Calculate to 1 decimal place:
   \[
   \tau = 14.9 \, \text{MPa}
   \]

Thus, the average shear stress on the internal vertical surface AB (or CD) is **14.9 MPa**.
