A welded steel girder having the cross section shown in the figure is fabricated of two 20 in. x 1 in. flange plates and a 60 in. x 5/16 in. web plate. |y 1 in. 60 in. 5 in. 16 | in. 20 in. The plates are joined by four longitudinal fillet welds that run continuously throughout the length of the girder. If the girder is subjected to a shear force of 495 kips, what force F (per inch of length of weld) must be resisted by each weld? (Enter the magnitude in kips/in. Assume that the shear force acts parallel to the y-axis.) kips/in

The plates are joined by four longitudinal fillet welds that run continuously throughout the length of the girder.
If the girder is subjected to a shear force of 495 kips, what force F (per inch of length of weld) must be resisted by each
weld? (Enter the magnitude in kips/in. Assume that the shear force acts parallel to the y-axis.)
