A W360 × 39 wide-flange steel beam is simply supported and carries a uniformly distributed load of w₀ = 35 kN/m on a span of L = 5 m (see Fig. P7.3-20). For E = 200 GPa, (a) determine the maximum deflection of the beam, and (b) determine the maximum flexural stress in the beam. (See Table D.2 of Appendix D for the cross-sectional properties of the beam.)
