(8) Figure Q8 shows a T cross-section of a T beam which is constructed from three metal plates each having a width of 12 mm and sectional lengths of X=85 mm, Y=77 mm and Z=107 mm, where the plates are used for the web section, and the two flange sections respectively, as illustrated in Figure Q8. Calculate the neutral axis of the T-beam cross-section (as measured from the base) in units of millimetres, stating your answer to the nearest 1 decimal place.
