The distributed loading is applied to the rigid beam, which is supported by the three bars. Each bar has a cross-sectional area of 0.75 in²and is made from a material having a stress€“ strain diagram that can be approximated by the two line segments. Determine the intensity of the distributed loading w that will cause the beam to displace downward 1.5 in.
