You are hired to design a steel beam. The beam will need to span a 24ft gap and carry a point load of 16kips at its midspan. The client requires you to use a W12 section made from A36 steel due to space constraints. Which of the following is the lightest W section that will work for the beam. W12x30 W12x40 W12x50 W12x58
