Question: A 2 4 ft simple span laterally supported beam is required to carry a total uniformly distributed service load of 8 . 0 k f

A 24 ft simple span laterally supported beam is required to carry a total uniformly distributed service load of 8.0kft. Determine the lightest, A992, Wshape to carry this load, considering only flexure and the limit state of yielding, if the load is broken down as follows. Use LRFD.
a. Live load =1.0kft; dead load =7.0kipsft
b. Live load =3.0kft; dead load =5.0kipsft
c. Live load =5.0kft; dead load =3.0kipsft
d. Live load =7.0kft; dead load =1.0kipsft.
