Page422, Concept Problem 6.1. Solve this problem completely,butwith the following changes. (1) Continue toassume that the upper plank is 100 mm wide. (2) Assumenowthat the lower plank isreduced to80 mm wide. (3)Assume that each nail shouldwithstand ashearingforce of no more than 100 N.The questions are: (a) What is therequired spacing of the nails in the upper plank? (b) What is the required spacing of the nails in the lower plank?Please keep in mind that thesechangeswill result in many other changes across the board. Discuss all practicalissues in your findings.

Concept Application 6.1
A beam is made of three planks, 20 by 100 mm in cross section, and nailed
together (Fig. 6.8a). Knowing that the spacing between nails is 25 mm and
the vertical shear in the beam is V = 500 N, determine the shearing force in
each nail.
Determine the horizontal force per unit length q exerted on the lower face
of the upper plank. Use Eq. (6.5), where Q represents the first moment with
respect to the neutral axis of the shaded area A shown in Fig. 6.8b, and I is
the moment of inertia about the same axis of the entire cross-sectional area
(Fig. 6.8c). Recalling that the first moment of an area with respect to a given
axis is equal to the product of the area and of the distance from its centroid
to the axis,*

Since the spacing between the nails is 25 mm, the shearing force in each
nail is
F = (0.025 m)q = (0.025 m) (3704 N/m) = 92.6 N
