Solve all problems using the finite element stiffness method.

For the beam design problems shown in Figures P4–33, determine the size of beam to support the loads shown, based on requirements listed next to each beam.

Select a rectangular structural tube from Appendix F to support the loads shown for the beam in Figure P4–33. The allowable bending stress should not exceed 24 ksi.
