Question:medium

The two plates are welded by a butt joint and is subjected to tensile force P as shown in figure. The average tensile stress in the weld is

Show Hint

For a butt weld, the throat thickness is simply the thickness of the thinner plate ($h$). Thus, the stress area is straightforwardly $h \times l$.
