  1. Find the relevant cross-sectional properties.

  2. Find the normal and shear stresses just below \(\rm{G}\), in \(\rm{H}\), in \(\rm{I}\) and just right of \(\rm{C}\) in cross-section \(\rm{A}\).

  3. Find the principal values of the stresses in the points just below \(\rm{G}\), in \(\rm{H}\), in \(\rm{I}\) and just right of \(\rm{C}\) in cross-section \(\rm{A}\).
