Q3.[25 points] A linear elastic cantilever of one meter long is subjected to a downward vertical force \(\mathrm{P}=2\mathrm{kN}\) at its tip. The geometry of the cross section of the beam (front view) is given in Figure 3. Assume that no twisting occurs. \( E=165\mathrm{GPa}\).
Determine
(i) the location of the centroid,
(ii) the moments of inertia of the cross section Iy, Iz and Iyz, with z and y being axes along horizontal (to right) and vertical (down) directions and passing the centroid.
(iii) the equation of the neutral axis and its direction, and show it in the figure.
(iv) the maximum tensile and the maximum compressive bending stresses at the root section.
