A W 14 x 500 is used as a beam to support a concrete floor system. The floor is to carry  a total load of 120 kPa. The beam is simply supported over a span of 7 meters. Assume  the beam is laterally supported over its length, the allowable bending stress is 0.66Fy,  and the allowable shear stress on gross section is 0.4Fy. Use A36 steel with Fy = 250  MPa. Determine the following: a. center-to-center spacing of the beams without exceeding the allowable bending  stress b. center-to-center spacing of the beams without exceeding the allowable shear stress.
