Question: ( 2 5 pts ) A W 2 4 x 5 5 beam made from A 3 6 alloy steel and is loaded as shown.

(25pts) A W24x55 beam made from A36 alloy steel and is loaded as shown. The beam's cross section is oriented such that deflection will be resisted by 1xc(x-x axis).
a. What is the maximum deflection at the left end of the beam in units of inch, caused by the 30kip point load only? Give answer to 4 significant figures.
b. What is the maximum deflection at the left end of the beam in units of inch, caused by the 25kipft triangular distributed load only? Give answer to 4 significant figures.
c. Using superposition, what is the maximum deflection at the left end of the beam in units of inch? Give answer to 4 significant figures.
