Question:

The rigid beam is supported at its ends by two A-36 steel tie rods. The rods have diameters d_AB= 0.5 in. and d_CD= 0.3 in. If the allowable stress for the steel is Ïƒ_allow= 16.2 ksi, determine the largest intensity of the distributed load w and its length x on the beam so that the beam remains in the horizontal position when it is loaded.
