Unless otherwise noted in the following problem, assume that the beam cross section is oriented so the strong axis is the bending axis.

The structural steel built-up member Problem is to be used as a simply supported beam on a span of 40 ft. It is to carry a uniformly distributed load of 3.0 kips/ft, which includes its own weight. Calculate the maximum induced bending stress.
