Moment of Inertia,
Ixx = 1 [(120)3 × 60] - 2 
1 × (30)4 + 30 × 30 × 30 
12 12
= 6.885 × 106 mm4Correct Option: B
Moment of Inertia,
Ixx = 1 [(120)3 × 60] - 2 
1 × (30)4 + 30 × 30 × 30 
12 12
= 6.885 × 106 mm4
- Consider a simply supported beam of length, 50h, with a rectangular cross-section of depth, h, and width, 2h. The beam carries a vertical point load, P, at its mid-point. The ratio of the maximum shear stress to the maximum bending stress in the beam is

τmax = 0.75P = 0.375P 
Pmax = P 
h22 h2 2 τmax = 0.375 = 0.01 σmax 37.5 Correct Option: D

τmax = 0.75P = 0.375P 
Pmax = P 
h22 h2 2 τmax = 0.375 = 0.01 σmax 37.5
