Midterm $2$ Practice

$2.(10$ points$)$ A simply supported beam, $16\text{'}-$long W$14$x$48$ shown is subjected to a uniform service dead load of $400l\frac{b}{f}t($Self$-$weight of the beam included$)$ and a uniform service live load of $1900l\frac{b}{f}t.$ The top flange of the beam is continually braced by a metal deck.

Determine the deflection of the beam.

$($Partial answer: Total deflection$=0\mathrm{.}242$in$)$
