Composite Parts: The composite area can be subdivided into segments as shown in Fig. a. The perpendicular distance measured
from the centroid of each segment to the x axis is also indicated.

Moment of Inertia: The moment of inertia of each segment about the x axis can be determined using the parallel - axis theorem.

Solution
Composite Parts: The composite cross - sectional area of the beam can be subdi-
vided into two segments as shown in Fig. a. Here, segment (2) is hole, and so it con-
tributes a negative moment of inertia.

segments,
