A beam spans 40 feet and carries a uniformly distributed dead load equal to 2.2 klf (not including beam self-weight) and a live load equal to 3.6 klf.

The beam is laterally braced only at the supports and at the midpoint of the span.

Select the lightest W-shape that is adequate for flexure.

Clearly state the controlling limit state and be specific.
