2.(Semicircular beam). A beam has a semicircular cross section with radius \( a \). Its center is aligned to the coordinate origin, as in the figure.
(a) Find the second moment of inertia of the cross section \( I_{0}\) about neutral plane located at the bottom of the semicircle \((y=0)\).
(b) Find the \( y \)-coordinate of the centroid, \( y_{c}\).
(c) Find the second moment of inertia of the cross section \( I_{c}\) about the plane at \( y_{0}\), which is parallel to the \( x z \)-plane.
