Well I thought that the answer would be the same for the neutral axis as for the area centroid, h/2. But the answer in the back says the area centroid is actually h/4. So the area centroid is half of the distance from the neutral axis?

Homework Statement a beam is 12 cm wide and 10 cm long. Find the neutral axis, the area centroid and the distance between them. Homework Equations Yc=h/2 The Attempt at a Solution Yc=10/2=5 cm. I can't seem to find the area centroid of a rectangle. Any help? Thanks!
