Warping constant for the Channel section : cw = (d")2(b')3t.[(1-3α/6 + α2/2 (1+ d"w/6b't)]
Where, d" = d- tf
d" = 193.294 mm
b' = b - tw/2
b' = 55.5879 mm
α= 1 / (2 + d"tw/ 3b'tf)
α= 0.34
Therefore, Warping constant for Channel Section : cw = 5.12E+09 mm⁶

Figure depicitng single angle geometric and principal axes moments
Sign Convention for Moment in our case :
Moment about Major Geometric axis Mxx = -2.85 kNm
Moment about Minor Geometric axis Myy = 0.146 kNm
Moment about Major Principal axis Mww = Mxx cosΘ + Myy sinΘ
Mww = -2.40 kNm
Moment about Minor Principal axis Mzz = Myy cosΘ - Mxx sinΘ
Mzz = 1.55 kNm
As per AISC specification Section F10, the Limit state of lateral torsional buckling
does not apply for bending about the minor axis.
λ = b/t

Therefore, the given Angle section is Compact & Leg local buckling check is not required.
Based on above three conditions the available Flexural strength about the minor
principle axis z-z for the angle is :
For Bending about the major principal axis of an Unequal leg angle without continuous
lateral torsional restraint :

As the given Angle is compact, Leg local buckling check is not envisaged.
Based on above three conditions the available Flexural strength about the major
principle axis w-w for the angle is :

As per AISC Commentary, the deflection calculated will have two components : a vertical
component ( in the direction of load) of 1.56 times calculated value and a horizontal component
of 0.94 times the calculated value. The resultant total deflection is in the general direction
of the weak principal axis bending of the angle. Refer to attached figure :
Ratio = 0.259
