PLEASE ANSWER ASAP FOR OT AN UPVOTE 

A 5-m long, simply supported beam is
loaded as shown. Determine the lightest
W-shape beam that can be used such that
the flexural stress will not exceed 94 MPa.
Use the table for standard properties of
W-shape beams. Also, determine the
actual maximum
stress (in MPa) in the selected W-shape
beam.
As for other values:
P1 = 124 kN
P2 = 105 kN
P3 = 183 kN
