Question: Problem # 2 : ( 1 5 points ) An unsymmetric single - celled stringer - web cross section is shown in Figure 2 .

Problem #2: (15 points) An unsymmetric single-celled stringer-web cross section is shown in
Figure 2. Each stringer has a cross sectional area A.
The y - z coordinate system (not shown in the figure):
has its origin at the centroid C of the cross section (location to be determined);
in which the y-axis is horizontal (and positive to the right); and
in which the z-axis is vertical (and positive upward).
Note: please do the following calculations very carefully because you will need the results in
Problems #3 and #4.
a) Determine the horizontal and vertical locations of the centroid of the cross section. Express
your answers as horizontal and vertical distances from the lower left stringer #3. Express
your results in terms of h.
b) Calculate the moments of inertia I_(yy),I_(zz), and I_(yz) of the cross section. Express the results in
terms of A and h.
The cross section in Figure 2 is subjected to a non-zero bending moment
M_(y)=10kN-m (not shown in the figure) with bending moment M_(z)=0. The y-z coordinate system
is as described in Problem #2. Each stringer has an area A=.002m^(2), and the length h=1.2m.
a) Use the results of Problem #1 to calculate the numerical values of the moments of inertia I_(yy),
I_(zz), and I_(yz) of the cross section.
b) Calculate the bending stresses sigma_(xx) at stringers #3 and #4. Briefly explain why they are not
equal.
c) Find the neutral axis of the cross section, and draw it clearly in the y-z coordinate system.
please show all details
