Answer

$I_x=154(10)^6mm^4$

Work Step by Step

The required moment of inertia can be determined as follows: $I_{x}=\Sigma (I+Ad^2_y)$ $\implies I_x=\Sigma (\frac{bh^3}{12}+Ad^2y)$ We plug in the known values to otbain: $I_x=\frac{70(30)^3}{12}+70(30)(185)^2+\frac{30(200)^2}{12}+30(200)(100)^2+\frac{170(30)^3}{12}+170(30)(15)^2$ This simplifies to: $I_x=154(10)^6mm^4$
