    Moment = It is the combination of physical quantity and a distance.

    The total length of weld acting on unsymmetrical welded joint is considered as (la + lb)

    - Moment acting on top weld = τ a t la

    - Moment acting on bottom weld = τ a t lb

    here, t is the thickness of weld and is same for both the sides.

    - Moment acting on left weld = Moment acting on right weld

    Therefore, τ a t la = τ a t lb

    lb = (a la) / b

    Since, l = (la + lb)

    Substituting the value of lb = (a la) / b

    la =( b / a +b) x l

    lb =( a / a +b) x l
