Subparts: a, b, & c. Please write it on paper.

Transcribed Image Text:3) Two U-beam designs (shown below) have been submitted for a project, and your engineering
firm is tasked with checking whether they meet the design specifications for area moment of
inertia.
a. Calculate the location of the centroid (x, ỹ ) for the composite shapes shown
in design A and in design B.
b. Draw the location of the centroidal x-axis (new x-axis passing through the
centroid) on each diagram below and label the distance from the given x-axis
in each case.
c. Calculate the area moment of inertia (Ix) for design A and design B. Make sure
to use the centroidal axis X (from part b).
d. Calculate the area moment of inertia (ly) for design A and design B. Make sure
to use the centroidal axis y
e. Calculate polar moment of inertia (Jz) for design A and design B (through the
centroid).
