Question: There is a pit that is 7 ' 6 in length and I need to know if a 7 5 lb psf uniform load

There is a pit that is 7'6"in length and I need to know if a 75lb psf uniform load can be held on two W2x6s,also with stringers that run across both, and on top of that a 3/4"piece of plywood would lay across to created a platform. The 2x6s on the pit sides are bolted to it.I need to know if a 75psf uniform load can be put upon the form being created and if it can hold more than that. If it can hold more than 75psf send over the calculation of why one psf may be better than the other also make a moment diagram and a shear diagram for it.Please ask me questions if you do not understand. P.S.You can change the length of the stringers and change the 2x6members to anything that works better. If your a Civil Engineer PLEASE ANSWER.
