Question

Transcribed Image Text:The wood beam has an allowable shear stress of \( \tau_{\text{allow}} = 4 \, \text{MPa} \).
**Figure**
The diagram depicts a U-shaped wooden beam with the following dimensions:
- Each vertical section is 50 mm wide and 100 mm tall.
- The horizontal section, connecting the two vertical sections, is 50 mm wide and 200 mm long.
- The vertical gap between the horizontal section and the end of the vertical sections is 50 mm.
- A shear force \( V \) is applied downward on the horizontal section.
**Part A**
Determine the maximum shear force \( V \) that can be applied to the cross section.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
