A rectangular piece of wood, 55 mm by 101 mm in cross-section is used as a compression block. The grain makes an angle of 20 degrees with the crosssection plane. Determine the maximum axial load (kN) that can be applied to the block if the allowable shearing parallel to the grain is 5 Mpa. What is the allowable compressive stress(Mpa) parallel to the grain if the failure on shearing and compression is to occur simultaneously?
