With reference to the following figure, a plate, 75mm wide and 10mm thick, is joined with another plate as shown. The permissible tensile and shear stress in the welds are 50/mm² and 40N/mm². Determine the required length of each parallel fillet weld if length of transverse weld is 40mm.

With reference to the following figure, a plate, 75mm wide and 10mm thick, is joined with another plate as shown. The permissible tensile and shear stress in the welds are 50/mm² and 40N/mm². Determine the required length of each parallel fillet weld if length of transverse weld is 40mm. Correct Answer 11mm

0.707hl₁σ+1.414hl₂τ=20000 or 0.707x10x50x40+1.414x10xl₂x40=20000.
