(a) Calculate the required section modulus S (in in.³) if oallow
18,000 psi, L = 15 ft, P = 3,250 lb, and q = 450 lb/ft. (At this point, disregard the weight of the beam.)

X in. 3
Select a suitable I-beam (S shape) from this table, and recalculate S (in in.3), taking into account the weight of the beam. Select a new beam size if necessary. (Select the most economical beam size
for your calculations.)
