Question text 11Marks Problem 7An ‘I’ beam is shown in Figure P7.Figure P7. An I beam with dimensions.a) Assume [math: t1=t2=13]t1= t2=13 mm and [math: b=14.5] mm, making the beam now symmetrical. Calculate the second moment of area of the section, Ixx about the horizontal axis x-x. Provide your numerical answer in units of mm4 to at least 5 significant figures. [3 marks]Ixx [mm4] = Answer 1[input]b) Assume again that [math: t1=13]t1 = 13 mm and [math: b=14.5] mm BUT now [math: t2] has increased to [math: 18.2] mm . The section neutral axis now sits 151.47 mm from the base of the section and Ixx = 196798000 mm4 .  Calculate the value of the bending stress at the top of the section if a moment equal to 199 kNm is applied to the section about the horizontal axis x-x. Provide your numerical answer in units of MPa to at 2 decimal places. [3 marks]σ [MPa] = Answer 2[input]c) Where will the 'I' beam in part b) yield first in its cross-section if the applied moment continues to increase?

If a  maximum ultimate limit state moment of 355 kNm acts on the beam, choose the minimum weight section from Table P7 that can carry this moment without failing. [3 marks]Note; 1.

Step-by-Step Analysis
We will walk through each part and its options before identifying which choices align with the given answers. Part a: Option 1: 2.3141e+08 mm^4. This value represents the second moment of area Ixx for the given symmetrical I-beam cross-section about the horizontal centroidal axis. To verify, one would sum the contributions of the flanges and the web (using the parallel axis theorem) with t1 = t2 = 13 mm and b = 14.5 mm. The result in scientific notation 2.3141×10^8 mm^4 is consistent with a typical Ixx for a small-to-moderate I-beam section in mm^4-scale, reflecting the larger moment contribution from the wide flanges relative to the web. Option 2: 2.3141e+07 mm^4 (not listed here) would generally be too small for an I-beam of these dimensions, indicating a likely miscalculation in the area moments or the use of incorrect reference dimensions. Option 3: 2.3141e+09 mm^4 (also not listed here) would be an order of magnitude larger than expected for this geometry, suggesting an overestimation of either the flang......Login to view full explanation
