Question
Find the maximum moment, m demand in k-ft
find which beam is the lightest/ most economical W-shape to carry the maximum moment.
Find the Mcap of the most economical beam at this span length k-ft

Transcribed Image Text:The diagram illustrates a simply supported beam subjected to external forces. The beam is denoted by the letters A, B, C, and D, indicating key points along its length.
- **Supports**:
- Point A is a fixed support, represented by the triangular symbol on the left end.
- Point D is a roller support, symbolized by a small circle on the right end.
- **Forces**:
- A downward force of 4K is applied at Point B.
- A downward force of 2K is applied at Point C.
- **Distances**:
- The distance from Point A to Point B is 3 feet.
- The distance from Point B to Point C is 3 feet.
- The distance from Point C to Point D is 3 feet.
This setup is a common scenario in structural analysis, useful for understanding how forces affect the stability and support reactions of beams.
