You are hired to design a steel beam. The beam will need to span a 24ft gap and carry a point load of 16kips at its midspan. The client requires you to use a W12 section made from A36 steel due to space constraints. Which of the following is the lightest W section that will work for the beam. W12x30 W12x40 W12x50 W12x58

A 6.1 m long steel column is fixed at its base and pinned at the top end. The cross section is a W360×57. The steel has a yield strength oy = 250 MPa. a) Determine the critical load, Per b) What is the maximum column length to ensure failure due to yielding instead of buckling?
A composite section is formed from a L 40x40x6, two L 80x40x6 and a 150mmx8mm plate as shown [consider the y-axis to be at the edge of the longer leg of the upper left L80x40x6]. Compute its moments of inertia about the centroidal x-axis and about the centroidal y-axis. (Answer for this question onwards.) Tabulate your solution for this. for L 40x40x6, area = 4.48 sq.cm, x = 1.2 cm, y = 1.2 cm, thickness = 6mm, Ix= 6.33 cm4, ly = 6.33 cm4; for L 80x40x6, area = 6.89 sq.cm, x=0.88 cm, y = 2.85 cm, thickness= 6mm, Ix 44.9 cm4, ly = 7.6 cm4;
