Question: Problem 4 ( 2 5 points ) The following figure shows a cross section of a beam, its vertex is at the origin of X

Problem 4(25 points)
The following figure shows a cross section of a beam, its vertex is at the origin of X-Y
coordinates. Solve the following problems:
i) Find the location of the centroid of the cross section C(xc,Yc);
(5 points)
ii) Find the moments of inertia Ixx, Iyy with respect to coordinate O-X-Y; (5 points)
iii) Find the moments of inertia Ixx, Iyy with respect to coordinate C-X'-Y'; (5 points)
iv) If rotating the axes C-x'-Y', determine angle to get a set of principal axes,
calculate the value of maximal (or minimal) moments of inertia;
(5 points)
v) Revolving the area around O-x by 360 will generate a body, calculate the volume
of the body
(5 points)
Hint: If a rectangle has a height H and a width B. Its moment of inertia about the x axis
through its centroid is BH312, its moment of inertia about the Y axis through its centroid
is B3H12.
