The two portions of member AB are glued together along a plane

A forming an angle 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 for which the factor of safety of the member is
maximum, (b) the corresponding value of the factor of safety. (Hint:
B
Equate the expressions obtained for the factors of safety with respect to the
normal and shearing stresses.)
