Section Modulus calculation and optimization

Use the Section from your Hood design and calculate the section modulus using the formula S = I/y

S = Section Modulus

I = Moment of Inertia

y = distance between the neutral axis and the extreme end of the object

Come up with a new section that has improved the section modulus of the previous section and mention what change you made that has increased the strength.

Moment of Inertia is

M1 = 5.00213e-007 m⁴ = 0.500213 e6 mm⁴

M2 = 0.000136772 m⁴ = 136.772000 e6mm⁴

y = distance between the neutral axis and the extreme end of the object

Y = 481.778/2 = 235.889
