Chapter 6.1, Problem 4E

(Statics) A beam’s second moment of inertia, also known as its area moment of inertia, is used to determine its resistance to bending and deflection. For a rectangular beam (see Figure 6.6), the second moment of inertia is given by this formula:

$I-b\times h^3/12$

I is the second moment of inertia (m⁴).

b is the base (m).

h is the height (m).

a. Using this formula, write a function called beamMoment() that accepts two double- precision numbers as parameters (one for the base and one for the height), calculates the corresponding second moment of inertia, and displays the result.

b. Include the function written in Exercise 4a in a working program. Make sure your function is called from main(). Test the function by passing various data to it.
