Determine the lightest W-shape based on limiting deflection. Assume modulus of elasticity (E) is 29,000 ksi. Deflection limit = 1/360. (Remember, second number in W-shapes name is the weight per unit foot. Look at all sections that work and pick the one with the smallest weight) Hint: You will need to determine the allowable deflection in inches based on 4/360 criteria first.. 10 kips. 15 ft. EQ. EQ.
