Question
  1. Select a beam limited to a maximum depth of 23.50 in for the given loads and span below. A 50 ksi steel is used, and the beam is assumed to have full lateral bracing for its compression flange.

 

The diagram represents a beam supported at both ends, displaying two types of uniform distributed loads along its length of 40 feet. 

- **WD (Dead Load):** 4.0 kips/foot
- **WL (Live Load):** 3 kips/foot 

It shows the beam with multiple downward arrows indicating the uniformly distributed loads applied across the entire span of the beam. The left end of the beam is supported by a triangular support, representing a pinned support, while the right end has a circular support, representing a roller support. The total span of the beam is indicated as 40 feet.
