This is one of those questions that no one will will tackle because there are other factors that weigh into this type construction: Angle of lift, How will the new beam be supported, Is the foundation sufficent, indoors vs outdoor ect. Your safety is important, and you would be better served to discuss your needs with a engineer that can look at the whole picture.
I built a overhead crane once with a 40' span once and I can tell you from experience you will not find a beam straight enough as delivered. It will have to be proffessionaly straightened. Mine was a 24 x 100# I-beam and it had a 18" bow that had to be corrected.

To span 40 feet with a capacity of 1000 pounds in the middle, you would need to consider various factors, such as the material of the beam and the desired safety factor. Generally, a W18x55 or W21x55 steel I-beam could be suitable for this application. However, it is recommended to consult with a structural engineer for a precise assessment based on the specific loading conditions and design requirements.

What are loads on a beam?
It all depends on the dimensions of the steel beam
What size steel eye beam can safely span 14 feet with a point load of 4000 pounds in the middle?
There are a lot of considerations to be taken into account for sizing steel shapes, especially for a residential home. For instance, what are the load imposed upon the beam? How will the beam be supported? What environment will the beam sit in (i.e. high humidity, moisture, vibration)? A licensed professional engineer or architect in your state can better answer this question.

Where does the maximum bending moment occur in a simply supported beam?
It depends on the loading conditions of the beam, it will generally occur close to the middle of the span.
What is flange web in you beam?
In a beam the vertical part is called the web and the horizontal part is called the flange. For an 'I' beam the middle vertical part is the web and the top and bottom horizontal parts are the flanges.
If you do not have low-beam headlights always drive with what?
All vehicles are required to have low- and high-beam headlamps. If your low-beam headlamps both fail after dark, try switching to high beam. If the high beams don't work either, switch on the emergency flashers. In either case, get the car out of traffic and off the road as quickly as safely possible.
