Question: ( 2 5 pts ) A beam with the cross - section shown is loaded with a 1 5 kip * f t moment. Assume

(25pts) A beam with the cross-section shown is loaded with a 15kip*ft moment. Assume that the
flanges are both centered on the web.
a. Show that the centroid/neutral axis of the beam is 5.5625in up from the bottom and
centered.
b. Show that the 2nd moment of the area Ixx about the centroid is approximately 200in4.
Give answer to 4 significant figures.
c. What is the normal stress in ksi at the top and is it in compression or tension?
d. What is the normal stress in ksi at the bottom and is it in compression or tension?
e. What is the normal stress in ksi at the neutral axis and is it in compression or tension?
