Question: An 1 4 - ft long W 1 4 X 1 2 0 section ( 5 0 ksi steel ) is used as a beam

An 14-ft long W14 X 120 section (50 ksi steel) is used as a beam-column
in a braced frame. The member must support service axial loads of P D =70 k, and
P L =100 k and service moments M Dx =60 ft-k, M Lx =80 ft-k, M Dy =40 ft-k, M Ly =
60 ft-k. The moments are applied at both ends of the column to put it in single
curvature about both axes. Its ends are fixed in- and out-of-plane, and it is not
subjected to intermediate transverse loads. Is the section satisfactory?
