Question

Specifically a mechanics of materials problem. Question in pic below.

Hint: The solution must include relevant free body diagrams defining terms and that are consistent with the computations you make. Justify your computation of shear stress. This justification should include a sketch showing the “broken” part exposing the surface area upon which the shear stress acts

When the force P reached 1600 lb, the wooden specimen shown
failed in shear along the surface indicated by the dashed line.
Determine the average shearing stress along that surface at the
time of failure.
