this question is unanswerable without more information.

Are you referring to a 4" steel stud?

If so, it depends how closely the studs in the stud wall are spaced, how tall the studs are and if they have lateral bracing (and if so, how much/at what heights?).

You also need to state what gauge the steel is.

If you are referring to channel steel to be used as a beam/purlin/rafter - one would need to know the span and the thickness of the steel.
