For the beam cross section described in Prob. 12.3-5, calculate the centroidal moments of inertia Ixc and Iyc with respect to axes through the centroid C such that the xc axis is parallel to the x axis and the yc axis coincides with the y axis.
Prob. 12.3-5
The cross section of a beam constructed of a W 24 × 162 wide-flange section with an 8 in. × 3/4 in. cover plate welded to the top flange is shown in the figure. Determine the distance from the base of the beam to the centroid C of the cross-sectional area.
