Two toy blocks are stacked to form a tee-shape. Each block has dimensions a = 22.3 mm and b = 66.9 mm. Determine the vertical distance from the table to the centroid of the shape.

A 2,580-lb dinosaur stands on a simply-supported beam. Determine the maximum bending moment in the beam. Let a = 7.6 ft and b = 5.1 ft.

Loads P = 847 N and Q = 417 N act on an oak beam. Determine the magnitude of the largest shear force (consider both positive and negative values) in the beam. Let a = 0.4 m and b = 1.1 m.

Four toy blocks are stacked to form a hollow-rectangular-tube shape. Each block has dimensions a = 17 mm and b = 51 mm. Determine the moment of inertia about the horizontal centroidal axis for the shape.

A 40-N eagle sits on a tee-shaped post that has a diameter of 49 mm. Determine the magnitude of the largest normal stress in the vertical part of the post. Let a = 0.30 m be the distance from the eagle to the centroid of the post.

A 1,510-lb dinosaur stands on a simply-supported beam. Determine the maximum bending moment in the beam. Let a = 6.6 ft and b = 9.4 ft.

A cylindrical beam supports a shear force of 12.5 kN. The outside diameter is 80 mm, and the wall thickness is 5 mm. Determine the maximum horizontal shear stress in the beam.

Four toy blocks are stacked to form a hollow-rectangular-tube shape. Each block has dimensions a = 14 mm and b = 42 mm. Determine the moment of inertia about the horizontal centroidal axis for the shape.
