Structural and Stress Analysis

A concrete slab 175 mm thick and 2 m wide is supported by, and firmly connected to, a 457 mm × 152 mm × 74 kg/m Universal Beam whose actual depth is 461.3 mm and whose cross-sectional area is 9490 mm². If $\sigma_{cu}$ = 30 N/mm² and $\sigma_{Y}$ = 350 N/mm², find the moment of resistance of the resultant steel and concrete beam.
