Based on the Instantaneous Center of Rotation Method and Alternate Method 2
Using Table XXIII from AISC 9th Ed. Manual (ASD) - page 4-79

Input Data:

Vertical Weld Length = 10.000 in. 10.000

Horiz. Weld Length = 5.000 in. aL=8.75
Weld Size, ω = 1/2 in. = 8 (1/16's)
Vertical Load, Pv = 23.29 kips Pv=23.29 k
Horizontal Load, Ph = 86.93 kips θ = 75
Dist. from Pv to Weld = 10.000 in.
P=90 k
Nomenclature:
L=
P = Ca*C1*D*L (for inclined load) 10.000 C.G. Ph=86.93 k (@ C.G.)
P = allowable load on eccentric weld group (kips)
Ca = coefficient for inclined load, Alt. Method 2
C1 = coef. for electrode, use 1.0 for E70XX
D = number of 1/16's of an inch (weld size) xL=1.25 3.75
L = vertical weld length
kL=5 1

Results:
(Note: AISC Alternate Method 2 is used for inclined load)
L= 10.000 in. L = vertical weld length
kL = 5.000 in. kL = horizontal weld length
xL = 1.250 in. xL = ((kL)^2/(2*kL+L))
aL = 8.750 in. aL = (Dist. to Pv)-(xL)
a= 0.875 a = (aL)/L
k= 0.500 k = (kL)/L
C1 = 1.0 C1 = 1.0 for E70XX electrode
C= 0.704 (interpolated from AISC Table XXIII, page 4-79)
P= 90.000 kips P = SQRT(Pv^2+Ph^2)
Angle θ = 75.002 deg. θ = 90-(ATAN(Pv/Ph))
Co = 0.704 Co = C (from AISC Table XXIII, page 4-79)
C(max) = 1.856 C(max) = 0.928*(1+2*k)
A= 2.636 A = C(max)/Co >= 1.0
Ca/Co = 1.600 Ca/Co = A/(SINθ+A*COSθ) >= 1.0
Ca = 1.126 Ca = (Ca/Co)*Co
D(req'd) = 7.993 1/16's D(req'd) = P/(Ca*C1*L)
L(req'd) = 9.991 in. L(req'd) = P/(Ca*C1*D)

Weld is adequate!
D(req'd) = 7.993 <= 8 (1/16's)
L(req'd) = 9.991 <= 10 in.
