Section Modulus given Height and Breadth of Section Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Section Modulus = (Width of Beam*Depth of Beam^2)/6
S = (b*h^2)/6
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Section Modulus - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Section modulus of a beam is a geometric property for a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members.
Width of Beam - (Measured in Meter) - The width of beam is the beam width from edge to edge.
Depth of Beam - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of beam is the vertical distance between the uppermost deck and the bottom of the keel, measured at the middle of the overall length.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width of Beam: 135 Millimeter --> 0.135 Meter (Check conversion here)
Depth of Beam: 200 Millimeter --> 0.2 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (b*h^2)/6 --> (0.135*0.2^2)/6

Evaluating ... ...

S = 0.0009

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0009 Cubic Meter -->900000 Cubic Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

900000 Cubic Millimeter <-- Section Modulus

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
