A 7014 electrode was used to weld two :-in. steel strips as indicated in Fig. 15.7. The steel has a tensile strength of 60,000 psi, the welds are full depth (a in.), and a safety factor of 2 is used. The larger width is 2 in. and the small width is 1 in. Determine the weld length L in Fig. 15.7. (4 in.)
