The spreader beam \(A B\) is used to slowly lift the 3000 -lb pipe that is centrally located on the straps at \(C\) and \(D\). If the beam is a W12 \(\times 45\), determine if it can safely support the load. The allowable bending stress is \(\sigma_{\text {allow }}=22 \mathrm{ksi}\) and the allowable shear stress is \(\tau_{\text {allow }}=12 \mathrm{ksi}\).
