A composite shape is constructed from the same material all throughout using three rectangular sections (A, B, and C) and is placed on a flat plane. The composite shape dimensions is as follows:
Section A: A vertical rectangle with a height of 8 ft and a width of 2 ft .
Section B: A horizontal rectangle with a height of 2 ft and a width of 8 ft , connected to the top of Section A, centered horizontally.
Section C: A horizontal rectangle with a height of 1 ft and a width of 10 ft , connected to the bottom of Section A, centered horizontally.
A) Find the centroid (center of gravity) of the entire composite shape.
B) Calculate the moment of inertia of the composite shape about its centroidal axis.
