Two wood beams, each of rectangular cross section (3.0 in. x 4.0 in. , actual dimensions) are glued together to form a solid beam of dimensions 6.0 in. x 4.0 in. (see the figure). The beam is simply supported with a span of 8 ft. What is the maximum moment Mmax that may be applied at the left support if the allowable shear stress in the glued joint is 200 psi? (Include the effects of the beam's own weight, assuming that the wood weighs 35 lb/ft^3.) Round your answer to one decimal place.

Question

Two wood beams, each of rectangular cross section (3.0 in. x 4.0 in. , actual dimensions) are glued together to form a solid beam of dimensions 6.0 in. x 4.0 in. (see the figure). The beam is simply supported with a span of 8 ft.

What is the maximum moment Mmax that may be applied at the left support if the allowable shear stress in the glued joint is 200 psi? (Include the effects of the beam's own weight, assuming that the wood weighs 35 lb/ft^3.) Round your answer to one decimal place.

Mmax = ___ kip • ft

Repeat part (a) if Mmax is based on allowable bending stress of 2500 psi. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Mmax = ___ kip • ft
