Select the lightest W section for the column shown in the accompanying figure. The loading is 30 kips dead load and 120 kips gravity live load. The member is built into a wall so that it may be considered as continuously braced in the weak direction. Note: Not all of the variable W sections are included in the AISC Manual "Available Strength in Axial Compression" tables. Use (a) A992 steel; (b) Fy = 60 ksi
