Question

A cantilever beam of length L = 6 ft supports a uniform load of intensity q = 200 lb/ft and a

concentrated load P = 2500 lb (see figure). Calculate the required section modulus S if σallow =

15,000 psi. Then select a lightest suitable wide-flange beam (W shape) from Appendix B, and

recalculate S taking into account the weight of the beam. Select a new beam size if necessary.
