I. Show solution and no calculator shortcut technique is accepted. NO SOLUTION – MEANS A WRONG ANSWER.
1.A hollow square cross section consists of an 8 in. by 8 in. square from which is subtracted a concentrically placed square 4 in.
by 4 in. Find the moment of inertia ( in mm4 using 1” = 25mm conversion) with respect
to the x and y axes.
 

Solution:
IB = 8(8)3/12 + 8(8)(4)2 = 1365.33 in4
Is = 4(4)3/12 + 4(4)(4)2 = 277.33 in4
Ix = Iy = IB – Is = 1088 in4 = 425 (106) mm4 (30%)
2.Determine the moment of inertia (in mm 4 using 1” = 25mm conversion) of the area shown in Fig. below with respect to its
centroidal axes.
 

A1 = 6(1) = 6 in2
Y1 = 13.5 in

A2 = 12(1) = 12 in2
Y2 = 7 in.

A3 = 12(1) = 12 in2
Y3 = 0.5 in

At y = A1 y1 + A2 y2 + A3 y3

30 y = 6(13.5) + 12(7) + 12(0.5)

Y = 5.7 in (10%)

d1 = 13.5 – 5.7 = 7.8 in

d2 = 7 – 5.7 = 1.3in
d3 = 5.7 – 0.5 = 5.2 in

Ix = 6(1)3/12 + 6(7.8)2 + 1(12)3/12 + 12 (1.3)2 + 12(1)3/12 + 12(5.2)2

Ix = 855.3 in4 = 334.101(106) mm4 (20%)

IY = 1(6)3/12 + 12(1)3/12+ 1(12)3/12 = 18 + 1 + 144

Iy = 163 in4 = 63.671 (106)mm4(20%)

II.Answer the following:

1. Discuss the two models of professionalism.(2 x 2 = 4%)

2. What are the 8 important and detailed roles of professional code of ethics?(8 x 2 = 16%)
“ That’s All!”
