Question

A structural beam of the cross-section shown is
subjected to a bending moment M = -7.5 kip.ft
about its Z-axis. Determine (a) the location of N.A.
from the bottom of the section, (b) the moment of
inertia about N.A., (c) the section modulus for the
top and bottom utmost fibers, (d) the magnitude
and sign of the bending stress at point K, located
3.32 in. above N.A., (e) the maximum tensile
bending stress in the section, and (f) the maximum
compressive bending stress in the section.
