Consider the beam section shown in the figure, with y indicating the depth of neutral axis (NA). The section is only subjected to an increasing bending moment. It is given that y̅=18.75 mm, when the section has not yielded at the top and bottom fibres. Further, y decreases to 5 mm, when the entire section has yielded. The shape factor of the section is ______ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
