It is worth noting, that for a W-shape, the "shear center" is coincident with the centeridal axis of the member. This simplfies the calculations. Torsion moment acting on a member, is the force times the distacne from the shear center of the element to the force.

Hey kastava, do we have any video related to flexural strength of beam?
Yes we do Sital! what material type are you wondering about? i believe we did a steel beam, concrete beam, dimensional lumber, and a glulam member.
Let's say the problem was a HSS 16x 5/8 Steel Tube and it was asking for the "Torsional Capacity" of said member?
Jose wanted me to ask
How to find torsion capacity of i section
im on it!
The beam is fully restrained. It should be fixed at both ends.
It seems to me that you need to divide by two to get the maximum torsion.
