 = 1.03 * 65.00 / ( 70.00 * 1.00 * 0.04 ) 
 = 21.64 
Dmax3 = project max fillet weld = 12.00
Dmax=min(Dmax1, Dmax2, Dmax3) = min(3.94, 21.64, 12.00)
 = 3.94 

Use weld size
D1 = 4.00
D2 = 4.00

Weld Strength :

Vertical weld capacity during shear only load, phi * Rnv1 = 0.75 * 1.86 * 17.50 * (3.94 + 3.94) = 191.96 kips

191.96 kips >= Reaction V = 36.67 kips (OK)
