A two-axle carriage truck moves along the simply supported girder AB. The front axle transmits 2200 pounds to the beam, whereas the rear axle transmits 3800 pounds. If the allowable bending stress is 17.0 ksi, the beam's length is 18 ft, and the carriage's wheelbase is 5 ft, find the minimum required dimension of Rectangular Beam in the Length is thrice the width, Square Beam, and Triangular Beam if the Base is Twice the Height.
