Question: A W 1 6 x 4 5 steel ( E = 2 9 , 0 0 0 ksi ) beam is simply supported on a

A W16x45 steel (E=29,000ksi ) beam is simply supported on a span of length 24 feet. It is subjected to two concentrated loads of 12 kips each applied at the third points (a=8ft). Compute the maximum deflection in inches. Do not include the weight of the beam in your deflection calculation. Assume the strong axis supports bending.
