A floor joist consists of a 2" x 10" No. 2 Southern Pine (Fa = 800 psi). The joists are spaced at 24" on center. The beam is subjected to a dead load of 20 lb/ft including beam weight and a live load of 60 lb/ft. If the length of the beam is 14 ft, determine the actual stress due to the loads on the beam, and if the section is adequate for the loads being carried.
