Answer

$I_y=91.3(10^6)mm^4$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required moment of inertia as follows: $I_y=\Sigma (I+Ad^2_x)$ $\implies I_y=\Sigma (\frac{bh^3}{12}+Ad^2_x )$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_y=\frac{(30)(70)^3}{12}+30(70)(65)^2+\frac{200(30)^3}{12}+200(30)(15)^2+\frac{(30)(170)^3}{12}+30(170)(115)^2$ This simplifies to: $I_y=91.3(10^6)mm^4$
