SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating the moment of area for a beam that has been rotated 220 degrees under an applied force of 20 kN. The user seeks clarification on determining the angles for the neutral axis (N.A.) and the force components to accurately compute Mxx, Myy, and Theta.n.a. The conversation highlights the importance of correctly visualizing the angles in the diagram to facilitate the calculations. Understanding these parameters is crucial for accurate moment of area calculations in structural engineering.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of moment of area concepts

Hey

May seem like a h/w question, infact i can't remember how to do it, and just need a push in the right direction?

I am trying to complete the diagram but don't really know how to put the angles into the diagram.

The beam was rotated 220 degrees from its first state, (1) in the diagram, to (2).

From memory i feel i need to put 2 angles, one for the N.A. and one for the force, but like i say, mind has gone blank on this one.

I am trying to figure out Mxx and Myy and Theta.n.a

I know the formulas, but not sure on what my angles should be to take into account the rotation and the force.

Thanks
