An $$RC$$ square footing of side length $$2$$ $$m$$ and uniform effective depth $$200$$ $$mm$$ is provided for a $$300$$ $$mm \times 300\,mm$$ column. The line of action of the vertical compressive load passes through the centroid of the footing as well as of the column. If the magnitude of the load is $$320$$ $$kN,$$ the nominal transverse (one way) shear stress in the footing is
