Question: 2 . 4 A simply supported U beam is loaded as shown in Figure Q . 4 ( a ) . Its cross section is

2.4 A simply supported U beam is loaded as shown in Figure Q.4(a). Its cross section is shown in Figure Q.4(b).
Figure Q.4(a)
Figure Q.4(b)
(All dimensions are in mm )
(a) Calculate the distance (\(\mathbf{y c}\)) between the neutral \(\mathbf{X}-\mathbf{X}\) axis and the bottom of the beam for the section as shown in Figure Q.4(b).
(b) Determine its moment of inertia (\(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{xx}}\)) about the neutral X-X axis. (6 marks)
(c) If the maximum bending stresses in the beam are \(355\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{mm}^{2}\), determine the maximum uniformly distributed load \( w \) that the beam can carry. (9 marks)
(d) Determine the maximum shear stress in the beam under the uniformly distributed load \( w \) obtained in part (c).
