Hey

Can you confirm this please?

Z = I / y

I = BD^3 / 12

Y-rectange = d / 2

Y is described as the distance from the neutral axis, but distance to where? top or bottom?

Can this be calculated as

Z = BD^2 / 6 ?????

Thanks for any more light you can shed on this.

I also want to add that this site is one of the best, if not the best resource i have came upon whilst studying Mechanical Engineering, its excellent, and i will be passing the link on to fellow students and lectureres.
