Question: Problem 5 . 8 - 9 A wood beam A B on simple supports with span length equal to 1 0 f t is subjected

Problem 5.8-9 A wood beam AB on simple supports with span length
equal to 10ft is subjected to a uniform load of intensity 125lbft acting
along the entire length of the beam, a concentrated load of magnitude
7500lb acting at a point 3ft from the right-hand support, and a moment at
A of 18,500 ft-lb (see figure). The allowable stresses in bending and shear,
respectively, are 2250 and 160.
(a) From the table in Appendix G, select the lightest beam that will
support the loads (disregard the weight of the beam).
(b) Taking into account the weight of the beam (weight density =35lbft3),
verify that the selected beam is satisfactory, or if it is not, select a new beam.
