A car starting from rest moves with uniform acceleration. In its way, it covers distance AB in 10 seconds and BC is covered in 8 seconds. Calculate (i) the magnitude of acceleration, (ii) the velocities of car at A and B and (iii) the distance of A from starting point of car. 14 (a) Find the moment of inertia of an I section about an axis passing through the centroid and parallel to the horizontal flanges. The thickness of both flanges is 20 mm. Upper horizontal flange is 100 mm wide whereas lower flange is 200 mm wide.
