Question 31
MEMCQ2 marksNeeds review
A carpenter glues a pair of cylindrical wooden logs by bonding their end faces at an angle of
as shown in the figure. 
The glue used at the interface fails if
Criterion 1: the maximum normal stress exceeds 2.5 MPa.
Criterion 2: the maximum shear stress exceeds 1.5 MPa.
Assume that the interface fails before the logs fail. When a uniform tensile stress of 4 MPa is applied, the interface
