A steel cantilever beam is welded using a E6010 electrode to a support beam as shown
below. Both beams are 20mm thick steel rectangular cross-section beams with E = 70
GPa, Sy = 200 MPa. A) Determine the weld size needed to withstand that static load
F = 1000N. b) What is the maximum bending stress in the cantilever beam?
