Design a 11 ft single-angle tension member of A992 steel, to support a dead tensile load of 25k and a live tensile load of 45k. The member is to be connected to one leg only with 5/8-in bolts (4 in a line 3" on center) Then assume a reasonable distance for bolts to the edge of the angle and check the block shear.
