Calculate the second moment of areas for two h" x w" pieces of lumber about the x-x and y-y axes as shown. Also, by what factor do you increase the resistance to bending (about x-x axis) if you were to use Lumber B over Lumber A?   LUMBER A: h = 4 in w = 8 in LUMBER B: h = 10 in w = 3 in
A beam of a T cross section is formed by nailing together two boards having the dimensions shown in the figure. If the total shear force V acting on the cross section is 1500 N and each nail may carry 760 N in shear, what is the maximum allowable nail spacing s?
Physics You have three 24 ft long wooden 2x6's and you want to nail them together in two possible arrangements as shown below to make the stifest possible beam. The stiffness of a beam is proportional to the moment of inertia of the beam's cross-section about a horizontal axis passing through its centroid. The actual dimensions of nominal 2x6 lumber are 1.5 in by 5.5 in. Arrangement A: Arrangement B: Which of the following option is correct? O Arrangement A has approximately 3.62 times the stiffness of arrangement B O Both arrangements A & B are equally stiff. O Arrangement B has approximately 3.62 times the stiffness of arrangement A O Arrangement A has approximately 7.24 times the stiffness of arrangement B
