Please compute the accurate answer of the following questions
Question 1- Find the lightest 50 ksi W-section that can carry a bending moment of 110 ft-kips. Assume full lateral support.
Question 2- An existing building has a W24x162 grade 50 girder installed between two columns. A retrofit is planned which requires a maximum bending moment on this beam of 1,396 ft-kips.
Part 1- Find out if the girder is adequate, assuming a maximum unbraced length of 10 ft.
I need experts help to calculate the girder is adequate.
