Question: A beam with the cross - section shown below is 3 2 feet long. The beam is simply supported and loaded with uniform dead load

A beam with the cross-section shown below is 32 feet long. The beam is simply supported and loaded with uniform dead load of 1kipft(including the self-weight) and a uniform live load of 2.3kipsft.
For uniformly distributed loads, max=5wl4384EI
As=()2
a. Where is the cracked neutral axis for the beam?
b. What is the cracked moment of inertia?
c. What is the anticipated immediate deflection due to live loading?
d. How does the deflection you computed in part c compare to the code limits for the immediate deflection due to live load on a floor, assuming the beam will not support or be attached to nonstructural elements sensitive to large deflections? See Table 24.2.2.
e. If 25% of the live load is expected to be sustained, compute the additional long-term deflection caused by the sustained live load after 3 years. (This question is not asking for the whole deflection after partitions calculation I did in the videos for this week. This question is intended to be simpler, so plea'se read it carefully.)
A beam with the cross - section shown below is 3
