For the following computer problem, any appropriate software may be used Input prompts should fully explain what is required of the user (the program should be user-friendly). The resulting output should be well labeled and self-explanatory.
Write a program that will help you select the lightest W shape from a limited group of W shapes. The beam is to be simply supported and will carry a uniformly distributed line load. Consider moment only. You will need to create a short table of W-shape properties from which the program can make the selection. (Real-world software contains more comprehensive tables of shape properties.) Choose a few shapes (perhaps six) from Appendix I and include nominal depth, weight, and section modulus in the table. User input for this program is to be uniformly distributed line load intensity (kips/ft), span length (ft), and yield stress (ksi).
