The nails are on both sides of the cantilever beam and each can resist a shear of \(2 \mathrm{kN}\). In addition to the distributed loading, determine the maximum load \(P\) that can be applied to the end of the beam. The nails are spaced \(100 \mathrm{~mm}\) apart and the allowable shear stress for the wood is \(\tau_{\text {allow }}=3 \mathrm{MPa}\).
