(30 pts) Problem 3:
A floor joist which measures a full 2 in . by 8 in . has a 1-in. hole drilled through it for a waterpipe installation. Determine the percent reduction in the moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area about the x -axis (compared with that of the undrilled joist).
(Hint: You need to find the location of N.A. of the drilled section first and then its moment of inertia around the new N.A. compare with moment of inertia of the full 2 in. by 8 in floor joist).
