A simply supported beam has a symmetrical rectangular cross-section. If the second moment of area (I) of a beam with a rectangular cross-section is 11.50 x 106 mm4 about its centroidal x-axis and the depth dimension (d) of the rectangular section is 180 mm, determine the breadth dimension (b) for this beam section. Give your answer in millimetres (mm) and to 2 decimal places. Assume the beam section material is homogeneous. (show all work)
