Using Fy $=50$ksi, select the lightest available W $-$shape section for the span and loading shown. Make your initial member selection based on moment and check for shear. Neglect the beam self$-$weight in your calculations. The members are assumed to have full lateral bracing of their compression flanges.

Hint: Find reactions based on equilibrium, and then draw V$,$ M diagrams. You wont' be able to use Table $3-23.$

Solution: W$24$x$68$

$P_D=30k$

$P_L=75k$
