A project engineer is adding a new piece of equipment to the second floor of a manufacturing facility.  The current W14x99 is insufficient for deflection restraints.  Calculate the appropriate moment of inertia for vertical loading of each composite steel shape below.  Which one will yield the highest I, and thus the lowest deflection, under load? Upload your spreadsheets.  If centroid is assumed, no need to upload your centroid calc spreadsheet.  Make sure answers are labeled correctly.

The  ___________________ represents a given shape’s resistance to torsion.

Uranium is an example of ____ radiation.

1) More radiation damage takes place with high dose rates, 2) because a rapid delivery of radiation does not allow time for cellular damage to be repaired.

What is the most cost-effective way to increase the moment of inertia, using the same total cross-sectional area?
