Two wooden members of 70 x 110-mm uniform rectangular cross section are joined by the simple glued scarf splice as shown. Knowing that the maximum allowable shearing stress in the glued splice is 500 kPa, determine the largest axial load P that can be safely applied. Show the free body diagram. 110 mm P' 70 mm 20
