Question
**Transcription and Explanation for Educational Use**

**Diagram Description:**
The diagram shows a T-shaped reinforced concrete beam. Key dimensions and details are as follows:
- Total height of the beam: 27 inches.
- Flange width: 14 inches.
- Flange thickness: 6 inches.
- Width of the web/stem: 6 inches.
- There are four reinforcing bars labeled as #4 in the top flange and four #9 reinforcing bars in the web.
- Concrete cover indicated as 1.5 inches.

**Text Information:**

- \( f'_c = 3 \, \text{ksi} \): Compressive strength of concrete is 3 ksi.
- Grade 60 steel used.
- \( \text{NWC} \): Normal Weight Concrete.
- \( \phi M_n = ? \): Design strength to be determined.
- #4 tied stirrups are used.
- Cover is given as 1.5 inches.

**Questions to Solve:**

1. **\( d = ? \)**
   - This is asking for the effective depth of the beam section.

2. **\( c = ? \)**
   - This requires calculating the distance to the neutral axis, \( c \).

   \[
   \begin{align*}
   &\text{(Includes a diagram showing a triangle with sides labeled:)} \\
   &\text{Hypotenuse: } c \\
   &\text{Vertical side: } d - c \\
   &\text{Horizontal base: } 
   \end{align*}
   \]

3. **\( \phi = ? \)**
   - Seek the strength reduction factor, \( \phi \).

4. **\( \phi M_n = ? \)**
   - Compute the design moment strength.
