Question

Transcribed Image Text:A rectangular plate of dimensions 100 mm x 250 mm is formed by welding two triangular plates (see the
figure). The plate is subjected to a compressive stress of 2.5 MPa in the long direction and a tensile stress
of 12.0 MPa in the short direction.
12.0 MPa
Weld
250 mm-
100 mm
2.5 MPa
(a) Determine the normal stress o, acting perpendicular to the line of the weld. (Assume that the normal
stress a, is positive when it acts in tension against the weld.) Round to one decimal place.
MPa
(b) Determine the shear stress T acting parallel to the weld. (Assume that the shear stress T, is positive
when it acts counterclockwise against the weld.) Round to one decimal place.
T =
MPa
