Explanation Given: The total height of the beam's cross-sectional area is 200 mm . The total width of the beam's cross-sectional area is 200 mm . To determine the distance y ¯ and the moment of inertia I ¯ x ′ about the x ′ axis, subdivide the cross-sectional area into 3 segments as follows: Part 1: Rectangle Part 2: Rectangle Part 3: Rectangle Show the subdivided beam's cross-sectional area along with their respective centroids as in Figure 1: From Figure (1), Write the height and the width of the rectangle in part 1: b 1 = 17 0 mm h 1 = 3 0 mm Here, height of rectangle in part 1 is h 1 and width of rectangle in part 1 is b 1 . Write the height and width of the rectangle in part 2. b 2 = 3 0 mm h 2 = 17 0 mm Here, the height of the rectangle in part 2 is h 2 and the width of the rectangle in part 2 is b 2 . Write the height and width of the rectangle in part 3: b 3 = 10 0 mm h 3 = 3 0 mm Here, the height of rectangle in part 3 is h 3 and the width of rectangle in part 3 is b 3 : Centroid calculation: Calculate the distance between the centroid and y axis for rectangle in part 1: y ¯ 1 = h 1 2 (I) Substitute 30 mm for h 1 in Equation (I). y ¯ 1 = 30 2 = 15 mm Calculate the distance between centroid and y axis for the rectangle in part 2: y ¯ 2 = h 2 2 (II) Substitute 170 mm for h 2 in Equation (II). y ¯ 2 = 170 2 = 85 mm Calculate the distance between centroid and y axis for the rectangle in part 3: y ¯ 3 = h 2 + h 3 2 (III) Substitute 170 mm for h 2 , and 30 mm for h 3 in Equation (III). y ¯ 3 = 170 + 30 2 = 185 mm Conclusion: Calculate the distance y ¯ to the centroid C of the beam's cross-sectional area. y ¯ = A 1 y ¯ 1 + A 2 y ¯ 2 + A 3 y ¯ 3 A 1 + A 2 + A 3 = ( b 1 h 1 ) y ¯ 1 + ( b 2 h 2 ) y ¯ 2 + ( b 3 h 3 ) y ¯ 3 ( b 1 h 1 ) + ( b 2 h 2 ) + ( b 3 h 3 ) (IV) Substitute 170 mm for b 1 , 30 mm for h 1 , 30 mm for b 2 , 170 mm for h 2 , 100 mm for b 3 , 30 mm for h 3 , 15 mm for y ¯ 1 , 85 mm for y ¯ 2 , and 185 mm for y ¯ 3 in Equation (IV). y ¯ = ( 170 ) ( 30 ) ( 15 ) + ( 170 ) ( 30 ) ( 85 ) + ( 100 ) ( 30 ) ( 185 ) ( 170 ) ( 30 ) + ( 170 ) ( 30 ) + ( 100 ) ( 30 ) = 76 , 500 + 433 , 500 + 555 , 000 5 , 100 + 5 , 100 + 3 , 000 = 106 , 5000 13 , 200 = 80.68 mm ≈ 80.7 mm Hence, the distance y ¯ to the centroid C of the beam's cross-sectional area is 80 .7 mm _ . Moment of inertia calculation: Calculate the distance between centroid and x ′ axis about y axis for rectangle in part 1. d y 1 = y ¯ − h 1 / 2 (V) Substitute 80

Moment of Inertia

Inertia can be termed as a resistance offered by a body to change its state. A rigid body initially at rest will apply resistance when acted by an external force that tends to change its state of rest or velocity, or a body initially at motion will provi…

Please find the torsional yield strength, the yield strength, the spring index, and the mean diameter. Use: E = 28.6 Mpsi, G = 11.5 Mpsi, A = 140 kpsi·in, m = 0.190, and relative cost= 1.

A viscoelastic column is made of a material with a creep compliance of D(t)= 0.75+0.5log10t+0.18(log10t)^2 GPA^-1 for t in s. If a constant compressive stress of σ0 = –100 MPa is applied at t = 0, how long will it take (= t1/2) for the height of the column to decrease to ½ its original value? Note: You will obtain multiple answers for this problem! One makes sense physically and one does not.

A group of 23 power transistors, dissipating 2 W each, are to be cooled by attaching them to a black-anodized square aluminum plate and mounting the plate on the wall of a room at 30°C. The emissivity of the transistor and the plate surfaces is 0.9. Assuming the heat transfer from the back side of the plate to be negligible and the temperature of the surrounding surfaces to be the same as the air temperature of the room, determine the length of the square plate if the average surface temperature of the plate is not to exceed 50°C. Start the iteration process with an initial guess of the size of the plate as 43 cm. The properties of air at 1 atm and the film temperature of (Ts + T)/2 = (50 + 30)/2 = 40°C are k = 0.02662 W/m·°C, ν = 1.702 × 10–5 m2 /s, Pr = 0.7255, and β = 0.003195 K–1.
