Assignment #08

1.1) Locate the centroid yc of the channel's cross-sectional area, and then determine the moment
of inertia with respect to the x' axis passing through the centroid. Given: a = 2 in, b = 12
in, c = 2 in, d = 4 in.

1.2) Determine the moment for inertia Ix of the shaded area about the x axis. Given: a = 6 in, b
= 6 in, c = 3 in, d = 6 in.

1.3) Determine yc, which locates the centroidal axis x' for the cross-sectional area of the T-
beam, and then find the moments of inertia Ix' and Iy'. Given: a = 25 mm, b = 250 mm, c
= 50 mm, d = 150 mm.
