2) The beam shown has continuous lateral support. If the live load is twice the dead load, what
is the maximum service load (wD+wL), in kip/ft, that can be supported. Assume A992 steel,
use the LRFD design method, and only consider the bending limit state.

3) For the combined section shown in the figure across, find the
cross-sectional area, the moment of inertia Iy, with respect to
the weak axis, and the radius of gyration, ry. The section is
made up of a W21x44 with two L3x3x1/4 attached as shown.
Also, what is the total weight of the combined section?
