1–50. The block is subjected to a compressive force of<br />
2 kN. Determine the average normal and average shear<br />
<strong>stress</strong> developed in the wood fibers that are oriented along<br />
section a–a at 30° with the axis of the block.<br />

Force equilibrium equations written perpendicular and parallel to section a–a gives<br />
+Q©F x¿ = 0; V a - a - 2 cos 30° = 0 V a - a = 1.732 kN<br />
+a©F y¿ = 0; 2 sin 30° - N a - a = 0 N a - a = 1.00 kN<br />
The cross sectional area of section a–a is A = a 0.15 b(0.05) = 0.015 m2. Thus<br />
sin 30°<br />
(s a - a ) avg = N a - a<br />
Ans.<br />
A = 1.00(1<strong>03</strong> )<br />
= 66.67(10 3 )Pa = 66.7 kPa<br />

(t a - a ) avg = V a - a<br />
A = 1.732(1<strong>03</strong> )<br />
0.015<br />
= 115.47(10 3 )Pa = 115 kPa<br />
