Question
Determine the bending stress at point A of the beam, and the orientation of the neutral axis. Using the method in Appendix A, the principal moments of inertia of the cross section are \(I_z^{\prime}=8.828 \ \mathrm{in}^4\) and \(I_y^{\prime}=2.295 \ \mathrm{in}^4\), where \(z^{\prime}\) and \(y^{\prime}\) are the principal axes. Solve the problem using Eq. 6-17.
Solution
The first step in solving 6.5 problem number 19 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Determine the bending stress at point A of the beam, and the orientation of the neutral axis. Using the method in Appendix A, the principal moments of inertia of the cross section are \(I_z^{\prime}=8.828 \ \mathrm{in}^4\) and \(I_y^{\prime}=2.295 \ \mathrm{in}^4\), where \(z^{\prime}\) and \(y^{\prime}\) are the principal axes. Solve the problem using Eq. 6-17.
