### Engineering Mechanics: Composite Shape Analysis

#### Problem Set

For problems 1-3, use the following information. A composite shape is drawn to scale below. Grid units are [mm].

![Composite Shape Diagram]
The diagram represents a composite shape on a grid. Each square on the grid represents an area of 1 mm². The composite shape has sections extending from coordinates (0,6) to (2-4) horizontally, then angling downward to (6-0) and horizontally again to (8,6).

### Tasks:

1. **Determine the area of the shape**
   - Calculate the total area covered by the shaded portions.

2. **Determine the moment of inertia about the y-axis**
   - Use the parallel axis theorem and formulas for calculating the moment of inertia for basic shapes to find the composite moment of inertia about the y-axis.

3. **Determine the radius of gyration with respect to the y-axis**
   - The radius of gyration is defined as \( k = \sqrt{\frac{I}{A}} \), where \(I\) is the moment of inertia and \(A\) is the area.

### Detailed Diagram Analysis:

##### Graph/Diagram Description:
- The graph displays a composite shape consisting of rectangular sections assembled in a 'U' like configuration.
- The shape extends from (0,0) to (0,6), and each block on the grid represents a 1 mm x 1 mm square.
- The vertical sections rise to 6 mm height with a width extending from 0 mm to 2 mm and again from 6 mm to 8 mm.
- The bottom section of the ‘U’ is at 0 mm height, stretching from 2 mm to 6 mm horizontally.

### Calculation Approach:

1. **Area Calculation**:
   - Divide the composite shape into simpler rectangles and calculate the area of each, summing them up to get the total area.

2. **Moment of Inertia Calculation**:
   - Use the formula for the moment of inertia of rectangles and aggregate them considering the distance from the y-axis.

3. **Radius of Gyration Calculation**:
   - Apply the formula for the radius of gyration given the calculated moment of inertia and total area.

By following the calculation steps, you can determine the required properties (area, moment of inertia, and radius of gyration) for the composite shape using basic principles of engineering mechanics.
