For the welded flange-plate moment connection shown, determine the maximum design moment (kip-ft) that can be transferred to the column based on the information provided. Assume the flange plate is \( A 572 \mathrm{Gr} .50 \) steel, E70 electrode, and no end weld is used on the flange plate. Note, the given weld length of 30 inches is for the total length (15 inches per side).
