Question: Problem 2 . A beam is subjected to equal bending moments of M z = 4 5 kip * f t , as shown in

Problem 2. A beam is subjected to equal bending moments of Mz=45kip*ft, as shown in Figure P8.5a. The cross-sectional dimensions (Figure P8.5b) are b1=7.5in.,d1=1.5in.,b2=0.75in.,d2=6.0in.,b3=3.0 in., and d3=2.0in. Determine:
(a) the centroid location, the moment of inertia about the z axis, and the controlling section modulus about the z axis.
(b) the bending stress at point H. State whether the normal stress at H is tension or compression.
(c) the bending stress at point K. State whether the normal stress at K is tension or compression.
(d) the maximum bending stress produced in the cross section. State whether the stress is tension or compression.
