Section Modulus calculation and optimization

Section modulus- Section modulus is a geometric property for a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members. Other geometric properties used in design include area for tension and shear, radius of gyration for compression, and moment of inertia and polar moment of inertia for stiffness.

S= I /y

So we can improve the section modulus by increasing the area of hood

I= 372800

Y= 442.171

S= 843.1127

And in another case where

I= 362100

Y= 442.171

S= 818.91

So here we can see that the second one is better than the previous one
