Question: Problem # 3 : ( 2 0 points ) Consider a cantilever beam with a T - shaped cross section subjected to a bending moment

Problem #3: (20 points) Consider a cantilever beam with a T-shaped cross section subjected to a
bending moment M of magnitude 200N-m applied at its free end, as shown in Figure 3.(On the
cross section, use a y-z coordinate system with origin at the centroid C of the cross section, in
which the horizontal z-direction is positive to the left through C and the vertical y-direction is
positive upward through C .) The dimensions of the cross section are given on the figure.
a) Find the vertical location of the centroid C of the cross section. Calculate your result as a
distance from the bottom edge of the cross section. If you treat the cross section as a
composite area, draw a picture that clearly identifies and labels the subareas.
b) Find the moment of inertia I_(z) of the cross section about the z-axis (which points horizontally
to the left through C ). If you treat the cross section as a composite area, draw a picture that
clearly identifies and labels the subareas.
c) Calculate the compressive bending stress sigma_("comp ") of greatest magnitude on the cross section,
and clearly describe where it occurs on the cross section.
d) Calculate the tensile bending stress sigma_("tens ") of greatest magnitude on the cross section, and
clearly describe where it occurs on the cross section. Please show all the details and please check all answers, I will give a LIKE!
