The rectangular piece of wood, 51 mm by 183 mm, is used as a compression block. The grain of the wood makes a 31.6° angle the horizontal, as shown in the figure. Determine the largest axial force P (in N) that can be applied safely if the allowable stresses on the plane of the grain is 11.9 MPa for compression. Round off the final answer to three decimal places. 018 shear.png
