Answer to Problem 5.2.2P
Explanation of Solution
Given:

Calculation:
To find thePlastic section modulus Z with respect to the minor principal axis, we need to know that the vertical line or axis is considered to be the minor principal axis, therefore as we know that the member is symmetrical along the y-axis, and the same axis is the minor principal axis which confirms that the plastic neutral axis is passing through its center.
We have the following formula for the plastic section modulus:
Where,
