Chapter 3.3, Problem 3.87P
The shearing forces exerted on the cross section of a steel channel can be represented by a 900-N vertical force and two 250-N horizontal forces as shown. Replace this force and couple with a single force F applied at point C, and determine the distance x from C to line BD. (Point C is defined as the shear center of the section.)
