A simply supported beam is made from 4 planks nailed together as shown. The cross section dimension of each wood plank is 1in. X 6 in. The spacing between nails in the beam axial direction is 0.5 in. The allowable shear stress of the wood is 150 psi. The allowable shear force in each nail is (100 + x) N. Calculate the maximum force P can be applied.  Please type the maximum force P in the box below.

While walking through a park with his daughter, Siegfried noticed that the park was heavily concentrated with broken glass from the festivities the night before. He decided that the park was not safe for his daughter to play in. On their way home, Siegfried called the owner of the park and told him about the current state of litter and broken glass around the park. The owner assured Siegfried the glass would all be picked up within the next couple of days. Relieved, Siegfried decides to take his entire family back to the park two weeks later. As they approach the picnic area, Siegfried realizes that the park is in the same condition as it was two weeks ago. Upset, Siegfried calls to his daughter, – age 9 – who has run ahead. Siegfried tells Gerlinde to come back to the car, so that they can go home. Running back through the edge of the park to the car, Gerlinde steps on a piece of glass and lacerates her foot quite severely. Now irate, Siegfried decides that the best course of action is to file a suit on behalf of Gerlinde. What would be the most likely result of a suit alleging negligence against the park’s owner?
