Question: Select the lightest W 8 section that will resist a service tensile load D = 8 0 kips and L = 1 4 0 kips.

Select the lightest W8 section that will resist a service tensile load D=80 kips and
L=140 kips. The member is to be 30 ft long and is assumed to have two lines of bolt
holes in each flange (one line of bolt holes on each side of the web for each flange) and
one line of holes in the web. Assume there are four bolts in each row of bolts along the
