An I-beam is subjected to a bending moment...
P8.008 A beam is subjected to equal 18.2 kip-ft bending moments. Assume t = t = tw = 2 in., d = 17 in., b = 5 in., and b = 8 in. The cross-sectional dimensions of the beam are illustrated. Determine: (a) the distance to the centroid (measured from the bottom), the moment of inertia I_z about the z-axis, and the controlling section modulus S_z about the z-axis.
(c) the bending stress K at point K (positive if tension, negative if compression).
(d) the maximum bending stress m_a produced in the cross-section (positive if tension, negative if compression).
