A simply supported beam spans 20 ft and carries a uniformly distributed dead load of 0.8 kip/ft, including the beam self-weight, and a live load of 2.3 kip/ft. Determine the minimum required plastic section modulus (Zx) and select the lightest-weight W-shape to carry the moment. Consider only the limit state of yielding and use A992 steel.
