Diameter of Nail or Spike given Allowable Load per Inch of Penetration Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diameter of Spike or Nail = Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes/(1380*(Specific Gravity of Wood Oven Dry)^(5/2))
D_spikes = P_nails/(1380*(G)^(5/2))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Diameter of Spike or Nail - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Spike or Nail in mm are pieces of soft iron or steel or other materials of variable lengths and thicknesses, pointed at one end and with a head at the other serving to join pieces.
Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes - (Measured in Newton) - Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes is the capacity or can say the maximum load allowed.
Specific Gravity of Wood Oven Dry - Specific gravity of wood oven dry, Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Allowable Load for Nails or Spikes: 2.5 Newton --> 2.5 Newton No Conversion Required
Specific Gravity of Wood Oven Dry: 0.265 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_spikes = P_nails/(1380*(G)^(5/2)) --> 2.5/(1380*(0.265)^(5/2))

Evaluating ... ...

D_spikes = 0.0501125194048769

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0501125194048769 Meter -->50.1125194048769 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

50.1125194048769 ≈ 50.11252 Millimeter <-- Diameter of Spike or Nail

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is allowable strength?

The Allowable Stress or Allowable Strength is the maximum stress (tensile, compressive or bending) that is allowed to be applied on a structural material.

What are wood screws?

Wood screws are handy for quickly building jigs and clamping forms, joining cabinet and furniture parts, mounting hardware and trim, and much more. Screws form strong connections between parts made from solid wood, plywood and other sheet goods without the need for cut joinery.
