The strength of a W14x38 rolled-steel beam is increased by attaching a 9x3/4 in plate to its upper flange as shown. Determine the moment of inertia of the composite section with respect to an axis which is parallel to the plate and passes through the centroid C of the composite section. Please refer to the table below for Wide-flange properties.
