Question: 5 . 8 - 1 1 A wood beam ( A B ) on simple supports with span length equal to 1 0

5.8-11 A wood beam \( A B \) on simple supports with span length equal to 10 ft is subjected to a uniform load of intensity \(125\mathrm{lb}/\mathrm{ft}\) acting along the entire length of the beam, a concentrated load of magnitude 7500 lb acting at a point 3 ft from the right-hand support, and a moment at A of 18,500 ft-lb (see figure). The allowable stresses in bending and shear, respectively, are 2250 psi and 160 psi.
a. From the table in Appendix G, select the lightest beam that will support the loads (disregard the weight of the beam).
b. Taking into account the weight of the beam (weight density \(=35\mathrm{lb}/\mathrm{ft}^{3}\)), verify that the selected beam is satisfactory, or if it is not, select a new beam.
