Problem 1.44 For the joint and loading of Prob. 1.43, determine the factor of safety when L = 180 mm. Problem 1.43 Two wooden members are joined by plywood splice plates that are fully glued on the contact surfaces. Knowing that the clear¬ance between the ends of the members is 6 mm and that the ultimate shearing stress in the glued joint is 2.5 MPa, determine the length L for which the factor of safety is 2.75 for the loading shown.
