Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The practical considerations you might encounter when you increase the moment of inertia (I) while keeping the cross-sectional area fixed are:

1. Shapes of moment of inertia: Engineers should consider or know the different shapes of moment of inertia for different shape

2. Understanding the orientation of the beam: this will allow engineers to either increase or decrease the moment of inertia of a beam without increasing its cross sectional area.
