A floor is made up of a 150 mm thick concrete slab and a 50 mm thick floor finish both of which has a unit weight of 24 kN/m3. The floor also carries a ceiling whose weight is 720 Pa and a live load of 2400 Pa. The floor is supported by simply supported steel beams with a span of 6 m spaced at 3 m on centers. The beam is W14x30, with weight of 440 N/m, depth of 352 mm, and moment of inertia I = 0.000121 m4.   a) Determine the uniform pressure carried by the floor in Pa. b) Determine the uniform weight carried by the beam in kN/m. c) Determine the maximum flexural stress in the beam in MPa
