Chapter 1, Problem 1.69(choose chapter or problem)
The two portions of member AB are glued together along a plane forming an angle \(\boldsymbol{\theta}\) with the horizontal. Knowing that the ultimate stress for the glued joint is 2.5 ksi in tension and 1.3 ksi in shear, determine (a) the value of \(\boldsymbol{\theta}\) for which the factor of safety of the member is maximum, (b) the corresponding value of the factor of safety. (Hint: Equate the expressions obtained for the factors of safety with respect to the normal and shearing stresses.)

QUESTION:
The two portions of member AB are glued together along a plane forming an angle \(\boldsymbol{\theta}\) with the horizontal. Knowing that the ultimate stress for the glued joint is 2.5 ksi in tension and 1.3 ksi in shear, determine (a) the value of \(\boldsymbol{\theta}\) for which the factor of safety of the member is maximum, (b) the corresponding value of the factor of safety. (Hint: Equate the expressions obtained for the factors of safety with respect to the normal and shearing stresses.)
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 8
We have to determine the optimum angle of inclination for which factor of safety for normal stress will be equal to that fro shearing stress
Given data are
Area of cross section
Ultimate stress in tension
Ultimate stress in shear =
